How to Prepare Grown Up Antioxidant Slushie [Vegan, Raw]

  1. Remove the greens from your beetroot- if you like (and you should!) reserve the greens for dinner. No need to peel your beetroots.
  2. When cutting your pineapple, keep the core in there (Fiber! The crowning glory of blended juice). Cut the beet in a few chunks- same for the pineapple.
  3. Throw beets, then pineapple, then ice into a Vitamix or other high powered blender.
  4. Squish down ingredients with the tamper- the beets and ice will take a little pushing just to get them going.
  5. Process on high for about 60 seconds- not much longer or you’ll just have juice.
  6. Pour into glasses and drink immediately! Yum. Pink mustache removal is optional.
