Notes
To enhance this smoothie, consider using chilled almond milk and orange juice to maintain a colder temperature, especially since the frozen pineapple already contributes to the chill. The earthiness of the beets is well-balanced by the sweetness and acidity of pineapple and orange; however, if you find it too earthy, a small piece of fresh ginger could add a zesty kick and additional health benefits. For presentation, a sprig of fresh celery leaves or a thin orange slice on the rim of the glass can elevate the visual appeal. Ensure you blend until completely smooth to avoid any fibrous bits from the celery or beets. Adjust the amount of almond milk to achieve your preferred consistency—thicker for a meal replacement, thinner for a hydrating drink.
