blueberry cashew beet smoothie

I’m wearing my big smile today as Lushious Eats has officially hit a new milestone. This Blueberry Cashew Beet Smoothie is my 100th recipe!

I honestly can’t even believe there are 100 recipes on this little ol’blog of mine. It really feels like it was just a few months ago that I began Lushious Eats. Really though, this coming June will officially be the first birthday for Lushious Eats.

Mmmm…maybe I shall bake a cake
or better yet, a protein cookie cake. (this did happen, but I’d have to ask my husband for the recipe)

 

This Blueberry Cashew Beet Smoothie is to die for. Who would have know that beets are like, one of the best tasting veggies; ever! I’ve had beets before, but it wasn’t until I saw this recipe that I wanted to put it straight up in a smoothie.

I went straight to the store and bought 3 good sized beets; so this smoothie will definitely make another appearance or two over the next week in my house.

Along with beets there are also a cup of blueberries, cashews and almond milk. The mixture of these ingredients created a sweet taste but let me warn you now; blend, blend, blend. Otherwise you may not want to drink this smoothie if a) you don’t have any floss b) you can’t brush your teeth right away or c) if you are in public – for all the above reasons.

The mess that these blueberries made in my teeth was hilarious. Let’s just say I was satisfied that I didn’t have to leave the house with blueberry beet teeth.
