Beetroot Cinnamon Smoothie

Beetroot is an excellent source of folic acid and a very good source of fibre, magnesium, iron and potassium. This deliciously vibrant smoothie, enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack packs a powerful flavour punch. With the added nutrients and good fats from the coconut oil, you're sure to feel fuller for longer and avoid sugar cravings.

For the Smoothie
A small handful almonds, soaked
1 ripe banana
1 ripe avocado
1 small raw beetroot, scrubbed but not peeled
1 handful baby spinach
1 tbsp Vita Coco coconut oil
1½ tsp vanilla
tiny pinch sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste)
1 tsp raw honey (optional)
For the topping
2 tsp desiccated coconut
1 tsp raw cacao nibs

Soak the almonds for eight hours or overnight in double their volume of filtered water. Make sure you discard the water and rinse the almonds well before using.

Wash the vegetables well, then chop them to fit your blender. Blend everything together with 500ml water until smooth, adding more water if needed.

Pour into two glasses and top with dessicated coconut and cacao nibs and drink immediately. Alternatively, pour the mixture into a glass jar or stainless steel flask and keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
