- In a blender, combine water, beet juice, coconut butter, cacao powder, vanilla and banana. Blend at high speed until smooth. Serve immediately.
Fresh beet juice can be used to color many different foods, such as cakes, muffins and pastries, or even clothing fibers such as cotton.
Coconut butter is a blend of coconut oil and coconut meat. You can usually find it in natural foods stores next to the coconut oil.
When purchasing raw vanilla extract, look for alcohol-free extract, to avoid the taste of raw alcohol in your smoothie.
