Equipment

  • 1 blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large banana peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup radishes sliced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger minced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • ¾ cup plant-based milk divided
  • ½ cup radish greens washed and dried
  • 1 whole date soaked and pitted
  • Optional: sliced radishes and radish greens as garnish

Instructions
 

  • Freeze banana: First, slice banana into small slices and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes to freeze. Freezing the banana means you don’t have to add additional ice to the smoothie to make it cold. After freezing, you’ll use ¾ of the banana for the radish layer and ¼ for the greens layer.
  • Make radish smoothie base: Add ¾ of the banana to a blender with the chopped radish, ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and ½ cup of plant-based milk (we used oat milk). Blend until smooth, adding ice for a thicker consistency and more plant-based milk for a thinner consistency. When done, pour the radish smoothie into a container or glass and set inside the freezer until ready to layer.
  • Make the radish greens smoothie: Next, wash out the blender and add in the radish greens, the other ¼ of the frozen banana, 1 date, and 2 tablespoons of plant-based milk. Blend until smooth.
  • Prepare the layered smoothie: Finally, remove the radish smoothie from the freezer and layer radish top smoothie on top of radish smoothie to create a layered effect. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Notes: Freezing the banana will mean you don’t have to add ice to the smoothie, however if you like a colder and thicker consistency then add 1-2 ice cubes to the radish base.
  • Tools Needed: high powered blender, knife set, cutting board
  • Prep Ahead: This smoothie is best when enjoyed fresh, we do not recommend freezing and then eating later (it will become very icy when frozen and will not have the same smooth texture).
  • Nutrition Notes: This smoothie uses all plant-based ingredients and is gluten-free. It is high in fiber and, depending on which plant-based milk you choose, it may also be a good source of plant-based protein. Feel free to add your own plant-based protein powder for a more filling smoothie.
