Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 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
Dairy & Alternatives
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1¼ cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened almond, soy, or fruit juice, see notes)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Peel the beetroot if using raw and chop the carrot into pieces. Peel the orange and measure out the frozen banana and raspberries. Use pre-cooked beetroot if preferred to reduce blending time.
- Blend ingredients: Place all the prepared ingredients into a high-speed blender, including beetroot, banana, raspberries, carrot, orange, yogurt, and non-dairy milk.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy without any chunks remaining.
- Adjust flavor and texture: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more banana, dates, or maple syrup if desired. Adjust the consistency by adding more non-dairy milk or fruit juice for a thinner texture.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for best flavor and freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen raspberries with any other type of frozen berries such as blueberries or strawberries.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add natural sweeteners like dates, honey (if not vegan), or maple syrup.
- Use unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, or a fruit juice to adjust the flavor profile and sweetness of the smoothie.
- Pre-cooking the beetroot can reduce blending time and yield a smoother texture if preferred.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking.
