Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Trim and scrub the beetroot and chop it into small chunks (no need to peel it unless you want to). Add the beetroot to your blender. Cut the turmeric into small slices and add them to the blender (see our tip on including fresh turmeric in your smoothie).

  • 2.

    Peel and break in the bananas. Zest in the lime and squeeze in the juice.

  • 3.

    Pour in the almond drink and add a handful of ice cubes. Blend till smooth and serve.

  • Tip

    MELLOW YELLOW
    Fresh turmeric has a warm, earthy flavour that adds more of a kick when raw. If you’re new to juicing with it, start by adding a little to this smoothie, taste and add more if you want a stronger hit of spice. And remember: turmeric stains, so chop it on a board you can wash up straight away (a little lemon juice can work wonders) and wear gloves and an apron to keep your hands and clothes stain free.

  • Tip

    BEETROOT TO YOURSELF
    Although chioggia beetroot isn’t as generous with its colour as its purple cousin, it can still stain, so chop the beetroot on a glass board, or one you can wash up straight away, and wear gloves and an apron to keep your hands and clothes stain free.
