So What If It's Fall? Try These Fall-Inspired Smoothies

I love smoothies, but with the cool fall weather here, the bright berries and cool cucumbers don't cut it anymore. 

 

During the fall and winter season, I incorporate more dark greens and root vegetables in my smoothies on those days that my digestive system needs a break, or I am eating meals on the run.  Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Smoothie

Sweet potato, 1 baked and fully chilled or about 1 C.

Coconut milk, 1/2-1 C. to taste

Apple cider/juice, 1/4-1/2 C. to taste.  Total, liquid should just cover solid

Spinach or kale, small handful

Banana, 1 frozen out of peel

Cinnamon, to taste

Recently, I made another smoothie with carrot cooked soft in ginger water. 

 

I chilled the carrots in the water they were cooked in and then added some frozen mixed fruit (cherries, apples, pineapple, peaches), handful of greens, and a dash of cinnamon and almond milk to make it a bit creamy. 

 

I bet coconut would have made it taste like carrot cake!  It was delicious.
