Notes

Soak cashews for at least 2 hours before blending. In a pinch, a 30 minute soak in hot water helps.
Not a fan of beets? Swap for frozen riced cauliflower or leave it out entirely. Just know the smoothie won't be quite as vibrantly pink.
Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost. Vanilla works especially well.
If using fresh dragon fruit, add a handful of ice to get that thick, frosty texture.
