Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this smoothie because it’s as nourishing as it is delicious. The natural sweetness of fruits like banana, berries, or mango balances beautifully with the mild earthiness of beets. It’s incredibly creamy, especially when I add a touch of yogurt or a banana, and it keeps me energized for hours. Plus, it’s an easy way to sneak in more veggies without sacrificing taste.

cooked or raw beet (peeled and chopped)
banana
frozen mixed berries (or strawberries, blueberries, mango)
Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
orange juice or almond milk
honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for extra nutrition)

directions

I start by prepping the beet—either roasting it ahead of time or using vacuum-packed cooked beets to save time.
In a blender, I combine the beet, banana, frozen fruit, and yogurt.
I pour in the orange juice or almond milk, depending on what I’m in the mood for.
If I want a touch more sweetness, I add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
For a boost of fiber and omega-3s, I sometimes toss in a spoonful of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
I blend everything until smooth and creamy, adjusting the liquid if I want it thicker or thinner.
I pour it into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Variations

I switch it up by using different fruit combinations—pineapple and mango give it a tropical feel, while apple and raspberry offer a tangy twist. Coconut milk adds richness, and a scoop of protein powder turns it into a complete meal. Sometimes I even sneak in a handful of spinach for extra greens—it blends right in without changing the flavor much.

storage/reheating

I usually drink this smoothie fresh, but if I make extra, I store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar. Before drinking, I give it a quick shake or stir to re-blend the ingredients. I don’t recommend reheating this smoothie—it’s best served cold.

FAQs

Can I use raw beets?

Yes, I often use raw peeled beets. They blend well if chopped small, especially with a high-powered blender. The flavor is slightly more earthy than cooked beets.

What’s the best liquid to use?

I like using orange juice for a fruity flavor, but almond milk or oat milk adds a creamier texture. Coconut water works too for a light, hydrating version.

Is this smoothie sweet?

It depends on the fruit I use. Bananas and mangoes add natural sweetness, but I sometimes add a little honey or maple syrup if needed.

Can I make this smoothie vegan?

Absolutely. I use plant-based yogurt and almond or oat milk to keep it dairy-free and vegan.

Will the beet flavor be strong?

Not at all. When blended with fruits, especially banana and berries, the beet flavor is mild and balanced by the sweetness of the other ingredients.
