Beetroot Smoothie with Banana, Berries, and Orange Recipe

Introduction

This vibrant beetroot smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious way to start your day. Packed with natural sweetness from fruit and a subtle earthiness from beetroot, it’s both delicious and energizing.

Ingredients

• 1 small raw beetroot, peeled (pre-cooked works as well)
• 1 frozen banana
• ½ cup frozen raspberries (or other type of berries)
• 1 carrot, chopped into pieces
• 1 orange, peeled
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• 1 ¼ cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened almond, soy, or fruit juice)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender.
2. Step 2: Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness and consistency by adding more banana, dates, or maple syrup for sweetness, or more liquid for a thinner texture.

Tips & Variations

• Use pre-cooked beetroot for a milder flavor and quicker blending.
• Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra greens without altering the taste much.
• Swap yogurt for a plant-based alternative to keep it vegan.

Storage

Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, as natural separation may occur. It’s best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated slightly or blended again for a smoother texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh berries can be used but you may want to add a few ice cubes to chill the smoothie and achieve a thicker texture.

Is it necessary to use non-dairy milk?

No, you can use any milk you prefer, including dairy milk. Non-dairy options simply make the smoothie lighter and suitable for those with dairy restrictions.
