Beetroot drinks

5 gram linseed

.5 --- banana

.5 beetroot, small

1 leaf kale

1 centimetre turmeric

.5 orange

4 ice cubes

250 g water, filtered

1. Add almonds and linseed and blend on speed 9 for 30 seconds
2. Scrape down sides add remaining ingredients and blend on speed 9 for 1min30
Tip
If its too thick just add water and blend for 10 seconds
When I make sorbet I freeze it into cubes and add this to my smoothies for extra flavour
If I have bought any canned or jarred fruit I freeze the leftover liquid into ice cubes
If I have made too much smoothie I just freeze it into ice cubes and add it next time or set it aside in the fridge as a snack. Yes it is ideal to drink it straightaway but snacking on this later is still a great option.
Ideally use almonds that have been activated to make them easier to digest.
