GREEN SMOOTHIE OF THE DAY: Cherry Beet Pineapple Morning Bliss ๐๐๐
Good morning steemit family! Who is up for a bright colored green morning drink? Well, actually it was pink this time and too beautiful to drink! But it ended up in my tummy anyway ;)
January was so much fun and is slowly coming to an end. Tomorrow we make one last 2-day trip with some friends before we start working at full force again.
Looking forward to start working on our new challenges. Though we already bumped into some issues in 2018, let's turn our luck around and make this year even better than the last.
Are you ready to rock this beautiful day (or night if you live on the other side of the world ;) )? I sure am. Especially after that beautiful and energizing pink morning drink!
Cherry Pineapple Morning Bliss ๐๐๐
Ingredients
2 cups bok choy
1 medium orange, peeled and seeded
1 banana (frozen for extra creaminess and to chill the smoothie)
1/2 cup cherries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 to 1 cup pineapple (fresh or frozen)
1/2 raw red beet, roughly chopped
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger
Water as needed
2 tbsp coconut oil
Optional toppings: dried coconut flakes, goji berries, cranberries, and mulberries
Directions
- Blend bok choy and water until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend again. If the smoothie is too thick for you, add more water and blend again. If you have a high-speed blender you can blend everything at once.
- Optional: Top with superfoods/topping you like.
Happy blending!!!

Bok choy?! What a great idea! I don't think I have ever used that in a smoothie! I am all for yummy beets and cherries. ๐
If it's whole and fresh you can add it to a smoothie. Hehe. Think I have added all greens I've come across to my morning drinks. Love fresh arugula or moringa leaves too. Miss our moringa tree from our precious house but ours is growing quite fast. Hope to have some leaves that we can use soon. Thanks for stopping by!
Excellent post, interesting photos. Godspeed!
Thanks @grisotti.
looking so yammy. and love the juice colour....thanks for share the recipe.
Nice color indeed. Wish I could share it with you all. thanks for stopping by!
Yum! I love adding mulberries to my green smoothies! I also love sprinkling in some chia seeds. Thanks for this recipe!
Hmm chia seeds. Think I might make a chia pudding today! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

So tel me ma'am the last time i really read your post, we were wishing someone good health. How is he and did the hospital trip for blood work out? hope he is ok now. and you guys left already?
keep steeming hot dear.
My friend is still not ok but at least he is on his way to the UK to get proper treatment! Thanks for your concern. it means a lot to us! One day we will have the chance to meet up and I'll make you as much green drinks as you like. Thanks for all the support!
I will hold you in this promise which is already a debt.๐
Steem on ma'am
It will be my pleasure ;)

Delicious combination! I'll be trying this one!
Enjoy ;)
That is a great smoothie! Everything in there is good! Beets are pretty strong-flavored, but good. That's how I've been using some of my winter stored beets. They are great for a savory smoothie, too! I hope the rest of 2018 is better than what it sounds like January has been!
I love the earthy flavor of the beets in smoothies. But it is prob not for everyone. Glad you can still enjoy those beets during the winter months. Here all kinds of fruits are ripening on the trees. As for 2018, life has up and downs so ups are expected. Having a few days off on an island with a few friends... and our other friend is feeling better and on its way to the UK for further treatment so all good. Thanks for your comment ;)
