Red Zinger Beet Smoothie
I know that the ingredients list for this smoothie is a bit long, but they all add to the complexity of the flavors. You can pare it down by only using frozen mango or frozen strawberries for the smoothie. Just be sure to use two cups instead of one.

- 1 cup (140g) frozen mango
- 1 cup (140g) frozen strawberries
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- pinch of salt
- pinch of cayenne
Instructions
- Add all of the smoothie ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
