Print Recipe

A quick and easy revitalizing smoothie blending earthy beets with sweet berries and banana for a fresh, nutrient-packed detox boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium fresh beet, peeled and chopped (about 5.3 oz or 150 grams)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries), frozen or fresh (about 150 grams)
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled (about 4.2 oz or 120 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml) or milk of choice
  • ½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (125 grams) – optional, use coconut yogurt for dairy-free
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (about 10 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup – optional
  • ½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the beet into roughly ½-inch pieces (about 150 grams or 5.3 oz).
  2. Add the beet and 1 cup of mixed berries to a high-speed blender.
  3. Peel and add one ripe banana to the blender.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk.
  5. Add ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein (optional).
  6. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into the blender.
  7. Add ½ teaspoon of fresh grated ginger.
  8. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  9. Squeeze in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  10. Blend on high for about 60 seconds or until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
  11. If blender struggles, blend beet and almond milk first, then add remaining ingredients and blend again.

Notes

Use frozen berries to keep smoothie chilled without adding ice. For a smoother texture, soak chopped beet in water before blending if using a low-powered blender. Let smoothie sit 5 minutes to thicken from chia seeds or add ice cubes after blending for extra chill without diluting flavor. Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt for dairy-free or add protein powder for a post-workout boost.
