WHAT IS THE FOOD REVOLUTION?

"This Food Revolution is about saving America's health by changing the way people eat. It's not just a TV show; it's a movement for you, your family and your community. If you care about your kids and their future, take this revolution and make it your own. Educate yourself about food and cooking, and find out what your child is eating at school. Make only a few small changes and magical things will happen. Switching from processed to fresh food will not only make you feel better, it will also add years to your life. - JAMIE OLIVER

Pomegranate and Red Beet Smoothie


Move over green smoothie! Sip this fuchsia blended beverage and know you're getting a good dose of B vitamins, folate, manganese, potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, antioxidants (three different types of polyphenols) and more. Give it a whirl!

And yes, it really is THAT pink ... Pepto-Bismol pink. My kiddos think this smoothie is the coolest!

Pomegranate & Red Beet Smoothie
Serves: 2-4

In a high-powered blender, blend until super smooth:

1/2 cup POM Wonderful® 100% PURE POMEGRANATE JUICE
1 cup NON-DAIRY MILK (how to make Almond Milk)
1/4-1/2 of a medium steamed and peeled RED BEET (how to steam a beet)
One generous handful of frozen STRAWBERRIES
One small handful of raw WALNUTS
20 drops SweetLeaf® Vanilla Crème LIQUID STEVIA
1 teaspoon gluten-free VANILLA EXTRACT
Sweeten to taste, if needed, with runny HONEY or sweetener of choice

Add and blend until smooth:

1/2 cup ICE

Cheers!

Yum Lexie, I love the addition of POM! I recently fell in love with beet smoothies. Beets + bananas = awesomeness.

Blushing beets! Thanks for your sweet words :) I am so glad you tried it! Amazing how any earthy taste just gets masked by the other ingredients. Just read your post on it (everyone check out this great site tiny-morsels.blogspot.com)! From your profile, we have a lot in common ... meat and potatoes husbands, picky 4-year olds and we're both graphic designers. Love your blog, too. And a big thank you for posting that zucchini salad recipe. We get our next load of produce tomorrow and I am still drowning in last weeks! Lots of zukes!
