Tart and sweet, this functional cherry-ginger smoothie is layered with Vanilla Bean Farmer Protein yogurt and marbled with a drizzle of olive oil. It's a nutritional powerhouse, containing 45 grams of protein for muscle support, 14 grams of fiber for blood sugar balance, and healthy fats to improve nutrient absorption. Inspired by the strength and grace of ballet, this is the first smoothie we ever sold at the Ballerina Farm store.

Prep: 15 minsYield: 1 smoothie

Ingredients:

    Cherry Ginger Smoothie

    Vanilla Bean Protein Yogurt

    Directions:

    1. To a high-powered blender, add the milk, date, steamed beet, strawberries, cherries, ginger, lemon juice, and salt. Starting on low speed and slowly increasing to high, blend until completely smooth. The base should be thick, with a creamy texture almost like an acai bowl.**
    2. Measure the olive oil and set aside separately. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, protein powder, and salt.
    3. To assemble, add the beet powder (if using) to a large glass or a Mold Weck Jar. Twirl the glass to let the beet powder stick around the sides of the glass. You can either leave the remaining beet powder in the glass, or toss whatever doesn’t stick to the sides.
    4. Add a heaping ½ cup of the cherry ginger smoothie to the bottom of the glass. Drizzle half of the olive oil around the edges, then top with half of the yogurt mixture. Add another ½ cup of the smoothie, drizzle the remaining olive oil around the edges, and top with the last of the yogurt. Add the remaining smoothie and enjoy.

    Notes

    *If using Greek yogurt, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to give the yogurt a looser consistency. If the yogurt is too thick, it may not layer.

    **Depending on the blender you use, you may need to add more frozen fruit or a splash of milk to the smoothie base to achieve the right consistency.
