When you’re in need of a healthy drink, these rainbow veggie smoothie shots will do the trick with four tasty flavor variations. You don’t need a juicer, and they are all jam-packed with veggie-based nutrients.
save this recipe!Whether you’re sitting at home eating your stockpile of pasta or are feeling a bit ill, we could all use a healthy boost. These rainbow smoothie shots are loaded with nutrients and perfect for drinking alongside breakfast to get you going in the morning.
Different from a green smoothie, smoothie shots are more concentrated and thus more flavorful. So, break out your shot glasses and kickstart your day with these tasty drinks!
Pick your flavor
These tasty immunity boosters come in four flavors you’ll love. So pick your color and get blending!
Red: This one consists of fresh strawberries, beets, lemon juice, and honey. Agave can be used in place of honey.
Orange: Grab a carrot, ginger, honey, and turmeric for this version. If you have any leftover cantaloupe, you can add that in, too!
Yellow: For this sunny smoothie shot, you’ll need a banana, fresh ginger, lemon juice, and a bit of turmeric. Pineapple will work in place of banana!
Green: Spinach brings a bright green color to this drink. Paired with ginger, lemon juice, and honey, it’s a sip of playing in lush grass on a sunny day. You can also add kiwi for extra antioxidants.
Let’s make these smoothie shots
Making these smoothie shots is super easy. You’ll just need a blender (my favorite is Vitamix)!
- Pick your flavor: Choose your desired flavor, and then add all the ingredients to a blender.
- Blend smooth: Blend until it’s as smooth as possible, adding a splash of water if needed to get things moving.
- Optional: You can also strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the fibers, making these shots more like juice than a smoothie. (I like to leave them as is – fiber is healthy!).
