Notes
- Store your ingredients in your fridge so that they can be cool before blending. Otherwise, if you like really cool smoothies, prepare the oranges in advance by peeling them and removing the seeds. Cut them into quarters before freezing them.
- You can also cut the beet into pieces and keep them in your freezer.
- I'd not recommend freezing cooked sweet potato unless you are freezing it for a few hours or a day. Cooked sweet potato if frozen for long will become watery losing its taste!
- This orange smoothie isn't quite sugared! Which suits people with diabetes and those on weight loss programs. If you're just starting with smoothies or want a sugared treat, then add a banana.
