Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 inches fresh burdock root scrubbed clean and thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby kale loosely packed
- 1.5 cups frozen pineapple chunks provides natural sweetness and creaminess
- 1 medium green apple cored and chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds for healthy fats and protein
- 1.5 cups coconut water unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
Notes
For the best texture, use a high-speed blender (like a Vitamix or Blendtec) to fully break down the fibrous burdock root. If using a standard blender, grate the burdock root before adding. This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in an airtight glass jar for up to 24 hours. You can substitute the pineapple with frozen mango for a different tropical flavor profile.
