Super Smoothies

Snow Bunny

Often labeled as “free radical fighters”, vitamins A and C help to battle troubled winter skin from the inside out. Both carrots and romaine are praised as top sources for these key antioxidants, and winter pears lend natural sweetness to this lightly creamy, yet icy delight.

Crimson Crusader

The bright red hue in beets is more than just a pretty package. It signifies the presence of betalains, phytonutrients that have been shown to give antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cellular detoxification support.
Magnifying both the color and benefits of this brilliant beverage, whole cranberries have shown promise in warding off infections, protecting the liver and anti-cancer activity. To tame their tart disposition, fresh vitamin-rich fruit rounds out this blend.

Matcha Magic

Green tea, or matcha, does more than provide a jolt of energy. Its unfermented leaves are reportedly rich in polyphenols, potent antioxidants that researchers believe may be more powerful than vitamin C. Coupled with the digestive support of oats and ginger, and the nutrient density of spinach (you won’t taste it!), this peppy drink is a cool morning brew.

To prepare any of these smoothies:

1. Add all ingredients to a blender in the order listed and cover. Start the machine on low speed, gradually moving up to the highest setting once the whole mixture is moving freely.
2. Blend on high for 1-3 minutes, or until the beverage is completely smooth.
3. Each recipe makes 1 large or 2 small servings.
