Good morning steemit! Another beautiful, yet too hot, day has started on our side of the world. Though it supposed to be a lot cooler and rainy season, it hasn't rained in over a week and temperatures in the morning are already well above 30C or 86F... climate change at work.
But hey I am not complaining. Other parts of the world are experiencing extremer weather at the moment. Our little problem is easily fixed with an aircon. I hope you are all safe.
Inspired by this mornings early sunrise (see pic below) I give you a very pink smoothie today. No, there are no berries in there. A lot of veggies and red beets. Though my hubby prefers smoothies with fewer greens and more fruits, recently I started experimenting with making the perfect green (in this case pink) drink with fewer fruits and more veggies. And he is digging it!
Pink Vegan Glow Smoothie π° π°
Sweet, delicious, antioxidant-rich, morning drink everybody should try. Not too green and not too fruity. Found the perfect balance there!
Ingredients (serves 2-3 people)
1 stalk of celery
1 avocado
1 cup raw pumpkin, roughly chopped
Fresh ginger and turmeric to taste
1/2 cup red beet
1 cup bok choy
2 bananas (frozen for extra creaminess and to chill the smoothie)
3 passion fruits
2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
Water as needed
Hemp hearts (topping)
Directions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Optional: Top with superfoods such as hemp hearts, chia seeds or goji berries if you like.
Happy Blending!!!!

That's all you need to start a day with energy and healthy! Thank you for share it
My pleasure! Thank you for your lovely comment! Enjoy the weekend ;)
Wow I thought for sure there were berries in there by the look of it! Looks great and as always a cup brimming with nutrition!
I know it looks very berry indeed... less than two weeks and we'll be in fresh berry heaven...hehe. Only frozen once here! But almost moving so I'm gonna grow my own.
This would be great to start my weekend tomorrow with , will get the things needed to try this out . Hope all is well
All is well... exciting times. My best friend in the whole world just sent me the first little video of her little baby growing in her belly... can't wait until April. Well actually in 2 weeks I'll see her too and be able to give her a big hug. Another Europe trip planned right there! And they decided to move to Cambodia after the baby is born and they finished renovating the house.... I can't even start to express how happy I am right now. How are you and your little one? Hope you are well too.
That is awesome , and you must be beyond happy !! That is amazing news and plus you get to see her soon as well. And I am well , back to college and lil guy is sleeping . He is such a handful especially at night waking up every 1.5-2 hours
I can imagine! You are such a wonderwoman! Caring for your son and going back to school at the same time. Respect!
This smoothie looks like love to me! <3 Love you Amy, have a nice day :)

Another great smoothie recipe for me to save. Really love these and a great way to start the day :)
It sure is! Green smoothies were my first step towards living a healthier life. Had my first one over 5 years ago and now there isn't a day I have one for breakfast or as a healthy snack... have a great weekend my friend!
I like smoothies too. Properly don't have them as often as you do, but do need to get into them more. Have a good weekend too my friend :)
We have one every day... according to science it takes 21 days to turn something into a habit.. for me it took less than a week to get hooked to these green drinks. that's now over 5 years ago hehe. Thanks for stopping by ;)
I go through periods of having smoothies. I really need to start making them daily. One thing I do every morning is make a cup of turmeric tea. Its really good for you. Look it up on youtube :)
I love turmeric tea. Do you make it with nut milk or just water? We often add turmeric to our smoothies... best of both worlds... tea and smoothie hehe.
That's great!
Climate change is really crazy these days. Here it's supposed to be more warm but everyday the temperature is different!
I love this pink color of your smoothie my friend. So tempting!
Wish you a great day ahead!
It is scary right. Nature is definitely showing us something is not right and we need to act... all of us!
It looks so tasty!i like the green and red mixed together to give us a great smoothie to start our day healthy.
Thanks @creativewoman! A good morning makes a good day ;) Have a wonderful weekend!
