Ingredients
2 1/2
cups
Powdered Sugar
1/2
cup
Vegan butter
non-vegans can use regular butter
1
tsp
Vanilla Extract
Dye-Free Coloring
Juice of Beets
(for pink)
Juice of Spinach
(for green)
Blueberries
(for purple)
Goji Berries
(for orange)
Instructions
With a hand beater start blending the butter, 1 cup of the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Once that is blended well add in the rest of the powdered sugar. You might need to add a few splashes of water to get the icing to a smoother texture.
After it's blended start with a tsp of veggie juice (whatever color you decide) and mix together.
If you're not using juice then add 5-7 blueberries and blend with beaters until color changes.
To get the color darker keep adding just a little of the juice or a few berries at a time and mix until you reach the color you desire.
