Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie – Vegan
This smoothie is a little bit tart, a little bit sweet, as well as thick and creamy.
We used rhubarb from our own garden and the instructions for preparing fresh rhubarb are in the complete, printable recipe at the end of this post.
If you don’t have fresh rhubarb, you can buy some frozen, cooked, sweetened rhubarb and just thaw it. It will work just as well.
Making a smoothie is a fairly simple process.
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. We use a Vitamix.
Blend until smooth and serve immediately.
