LINGONBERRY SMOOTHIES – LOVE POTIONS FROM THE FOREST

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Lingonberry smoothiesThere’s something truly magical about pink food. I can’t get enough of it. And neither can my daughter Julia. She is the reason I’ve come up with several creative and healthy ways of coloring food PINK. My love for beetroot has grown even stronger when I realized it is the perfect coloring agent. These lingonberry smoothies get their adorable color from both lingonberries and beetroot powder, a healthy powder which I’ve recently added to my already vast powder collection (greens, greens and more greens).

I really enjoy thick, creamy smoothies. When I first begun experimenting with smoothies, I only added a variety of fruit and vegetables and either plant based milk or water. It never occurred to me to use leftover (preferably neutral tasting) food as a base and thickener. Nowadays two of my favorite “leftover” thickeners are porridge (any kind will do!) and cooked quinoa. This time I used leftover porridge made from rolled oats and buckwheat flakes, and it gave these pink delights the most creamy touch! I also had some leftover chia pudding, so I used that as well for added nutritional benefits.

I will continue coloring my world pink, and I will most definitely continue using leftover porridge, quinoa, rice and puddings as a base for my smoothies and smoothie bowls whenever I have the opportunity. I hope you will try it too!
