We did it, folks. We managed to list every single ingredient in the title of this recipe, minus the ginger water. Now, there are many things that people should tell you in this life. Such instances include:

• When your zipper is down
• When your shirt is inside out
• If a pocket on your purse or backpack is open
• If you have toilet paper on your shoe
• When you have a giant booger hanging out of your nose

These are just things that people should tell you. You know what else people should tell you? It’s that beets are incredible. Not only are they good for you, but they also taste great and go great in juices, smoothies, salads, or roasted vegetable medleys. Chances are that if you were never exposed to beets, you don’t include them in your diet. They have a reputation of tasting like dirt, but that’s only if you do not know how to prepare them.

In the case of this beet smoothie, you hardly notice the earthy flavor. That is because you blend them with other sweet and tangy ingredients, including carrots, oranges, and bananas. Carrots, oranges, and beets make for an excellent trio, but you need the banana to help make the smoothie creamy. The banana also lends another element of sweetness to this beet smoothie. Want to make an even creamier smoothie? Freeze the banana pieces overnight before blending them.

This spinach, banana, and almond butter smoothie tastes like it was made for a superhero. Although it doesn’t give you the ability to fly or superman-like strength, it does supercharge your body with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and more. Spinach, although it colors the smoothie green, takes a back seat to the sweetness of the banana and nuttiness of the almond butter. There’s no way to be sure, but legend has it that your taste buds do a little dance after every slurp because the smoothie is that tasty! The almond butter really adds that extra oomph of flavor, so much so that you’ll be slurping it down faster than you can say “superfood.”

Where do we begin in regards to the health benefits? This smoothie is like a professional shot to the liver, but in the best way possible. Spinach is full of iron and fiber, which works to keep you satiated and fuller for longer. Bananas offer a lot of a potassium, which not only works to keep sodium levels down, but also aids muscle recovery. The almond butter is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, not to mention nutty goodness. When you add all of those ingredients together, even though it isn’t the longest list of ingredients, you end up with a tasty, nutritious smoothie. One glass may even have you feeling like Popeye! Just be sure to brush your teeth after because you don’t want to walk around with spinach in your teeth all day.

Get ready for a clean, green, protein-rich smoothie that takes your taste buds on a journey. Enjoy it as an energizing breakfast, midday snack, or pre-workout fuel source. It’s a very simple recipe that only requires a handful of ingredients, two of which exhibit lots of protein and healthy fats. Both protein and healthy fats help to keep you full between meals, which means no unnecessary snacking!

If you like your smoothies thick and a little icy, this is the smoothie for you. The frozen banana contributes to the creaminess, but the ice give this smoothie a texture that’s similar to a slushie. Additional texture and flavor comes from the nutty hemp hearts and chia seeds. Both hemp hearts and chia seeds are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which encourage heart and brain health. Nutritionists also note that hemp hearts are a complete protein sources, meaning that they provide all of the essential amino acids. By weight, hemp seeds provide similar amounts of protein as beef and lamb, with 30 grams (2-3 tbsp) of hemp seeds providing 11 grams of protein.

We could rave about the nutritional benefits of this smoothie for hours, but a smoothie can’t just exhibit health properties and no flavor. This smoothie is all about the flavor, packing creamy, sweet, nutty, and subtly spicy ingredients. The ginger is the real kicker, taking the smoothie to new flavorful heights. You have to taste it to believe us. Don’t just take our word for it! Although…you could on this recipe, but try it out and let us know how you like it.

When you see a blended bowl of frozen fruit, your mind immediately goes to acai bowl. It’s an incredibly trendy and healthy breakfast dish, but sugary granola and lots of honey can make it less healthy. A smoothie bowl shouldn’t be a sugar overload; rather, it should be a way to add superfoods and refreshing fruits to your day. That’s why many dietitians agree that smoothie bowls can be excellent breakfast options for health conscious people.

The base of this smoothie bowl is the only part of the recipe you should follow. The toppings are entirely up to you. We’ll detail a couple in this description, but we won’t list them as optional toppings in the recipe ingredient list. There are too many options! It’s always beneficial to include some fresh fruit on top of your smoothie bowl. A combination of sliced bananas, blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries is wonderful, but you also need to invite texture to the party. An easy way to do that is by adding raw nuts and seeds. Raw pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or hazelnuts are all excellent options. If you choose to use raw nuts, it’s best to give them a rough chop before topping your smoothie bowl.

The last thing to remember about making a smoothie bowl is that you want the base to be thick. It should not be thin because nobody wants to eat a soupy smoothie bowl. The texture should be akin to that of raw vegan ice cream or sorbet. Peel, chop, and freeze the bananas overnight, and make sure to choose ripe bananas for the best flavor. You can use a blend of frozen berries, or you can use one single berry that you prefer. Just make sure that they are frozen prior to blending. Add these frozen ingredients with the liquid and raw almond butter to the blender and blend until you get your desired consistency.

You only need two ingredients to successfully make chia pudding: chia seeds and liquid. Adding a sweetener like raw agave nectar or grade A maple syrup makes the pudding more palatable. Additionally, it’s better to use plant-based milk, as opposed to water, because it contributes to a more velvety texture. This recipe, for instance, calls for almond milk that you make yourself. The reason for this is because it is raw vegan and store bought almond milks contain preservatives, thickening agents, and added sugars.

Some chia pudding recipes instruct you to blend the ingredients together. This yields a quick pudding, but this recipe uses the traditional method. Add all of the ingredients to a jar, place in the refrigerator overnight, and enjoy in the morning. To fully incorporate the banana into the pudding, you have to mash it into a paste. Because mashing is involved, it’s better to choose a ripe banana. You don’t want it to be fully brown, but it should be yellow with brown spots. A ripe banana contributes to the overall sweetness of the pudding as well.

Once you combine everything in the jar, shake vigorously and place in the fridge. This is the standard chia pudding, but you have the ability to take it up a few notches if you desire. You can stir in a tablespoon or two of raw almond butter, or make it more chocolatey by adding one tablespoon of raw cacao powder. When you remove the chia pudding from the fridge, feel free to top it with a drizzle of raw almond butter or some banana slices and chopped almonds. The beauty of chia pudding is that you can customize it to please your taste buds. Let us know how your chia pudding ends up in the comments below.

When you follow a raw vegan diet, you can have your dessert and eat it too! Although the raw vegan diet can seem like a limiting eating experience, you can enjoy numerous recipes that surprise and excite your taste buds. You can’t make every classic recipe that you know and love, but there are many raw renditions like this ice cream recipe.

In order to achieve a creamy base, you need to blend up frozen bananas. That means that you need to have a strong, high-speed blender, or a food processor to blend the ingredients thoroughly. You don’t want chunks of bananas in your bite of ice cream, so make sure to blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. This can take a couple minutes, but it’s ultimately worth it. The raw cashew butter, which you can purchase in a variety of grocery stores, contributes to the creamy texture. You then have to blend the caramel separately

This isn’t caramel in the traditional sense; rather, it’s date caramel. It’s more akin to date syrup, which you make by blending dates with some homemade almond milk (click here for recipe), sea salt, and alcohol-free vanilla extract. It’s integral that you soak the dates in water for about 30 minutes prior to blending to help soften them. This makes the blending process much easier. You only mix in the date caramel right before you serve the nice cream, otherwise it will harden and be unpleasant to eat if you freeze it.

If you are familiar with our raw vegan recipes, you know that we enjoy a tasty cleanse-approved dessert. Sometimes, a little sweet treat at the end of a day of cleansing makes all the difference. Not only is it rewarding, but it also motivates you and shows you all the possibilities of raw food. Plus, a heavenly dessert entices your taste buds.

It may not be of popular belief, but enjoying ice cream during the colder months is a near perfect experience. Because of the cold, the ice cream doesn’t melt quickly, so you can enjoy it without gobbling it as quickly as you can. Like most raw vegan ice cream recipes, this recipe uses frozen bananas as the base. The bananas set up a luxurious consistency that’s exactly what you want from an ice cream. One thing to note is that you want to choose bananas that are ripe. Ideally, the peels should be yellow with some brown spots because that elevates the sweetness level for your ice cream.

Peel the bananas and cut them roughly before you freeze them. This is a pro tip for all you raw vegan ice cream enthusiasts. You don’t want to inconvenience yourself and have to peel frozen peels off the frozen bananas. It’s quite irritating, to say the least.

Bananas provide the sweetness, but sometimes you need a little extra sweetness, which is where the maple syrup comes into play. That balances the intense spice of the fresh ginger and the tropical nuttiness of the coconut. We hope you love this raw ice cream during your cleanse.
