Orange Cabbage Smoothie
Servings: 1
This vibrant cabbage smoothie is a delightful blend of sweet, citrusy, and earthy flavors. The green cabbage provides a mild, slightly peppery undertone that is balanced beautifully by the natural sweetness of pineapple and orange. The result is a refreshing, hydrating drink that feels light yet nourishing smoothie recipe.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup green cabbage
- ¼ cup golden beet peeled and cubed
- ¼ cup water
- 1 orange peeled
- ¼ lemon peeled
- 2 tablespoon raw cashews
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
Instructions
- Blend the cabbage, beets, water, orange, lemon and cashews until smooth.
- Add frozen pineapple and blend again.
Notes
- Chop the golden beet small (½-inch cubes or less). Raw beets are dense little things, and small pieces blend smooth in any blender. No golden beet? Skip it or use a red one — the flavor's the same, but your smoothie turns pink instead of sunny orange.
- Frozen pineapple does the chilling — no ice needed, so the tropical flavor stays bold. If your cabbage tastes stronger than expected (older heads can be peppery), a few extra pineapple chunks smooth it right out.
