Name: Beet &amp; Berry Smoothie
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1 cup plant milk of choice or water*; 1 frozen banana; 1 small beet, washed, peeled, and cut into sixths**; 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries; 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries; Optional add-in: 1 tablespoon hemp seeds

This smoothie is made with raw beets, fresh or frozen strawberries and blueberries, a frozen banana, and almond milk (or plant-milk of choice). I also threw in a tablespoon of hemp seeds to add a small kick of protein and creaminess, but you can omit them without affecting the overall flavor. If you don't have a high-powered blender, I recommend grating the beet before blending because it takes a bit of power to cut through it.&nbsp;If you're looking to start adding vegetables into your smoothies but aren't ready to dive head first into green smoothie territory (hellooo, kale), then this is a great one to try. It's heavy on the fruit so the flavor of the beet gets quietly nestled in between the sweetness of the berries and banana.

milk

banana

washed,

strawberries

blueberries

Optional add-in: 1 tablespoon hemp seeds

Add all ingredients to a blender, and blend for 2-3 minutes or until smooth. This one can be a bit tricky to get moving in your blender, especially if you're using all frozen fruit. If you have a "pulse mode" on your blender, I recommend using that to get it started. Then, blend consistently until smooth.

Awesome recipe! I added fresh ginger, 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon, and 2 leaves of basil to mine - so delicious! I've been drinking green smoothies for a while, but this has me convinced that beet smoothies are where it's at!

Hypothetically speaking, you can use anything but cooked beets are not as good. I also read somewhere that 90% the nutrition in beets gets lost when you cook it.

Ohhh yes! I got all the ingredients for this killer of a smoothie. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Just made this for my dinner tonight because it was just to darn late to cook a meal. I had fresh beets that I had cooked last evening for my dinner. So my beet wasn't raw, blends much easier that way since I have an old Oster Kitchen Center blender which I have to play with to blend smoothies but it never fails. 
I used half homemade cashew milk and beet juice water (cooked in)) blueberries and strawberries, and reluctantly banana.. small handful of hemp seeds. Earthy berry with bit of tart to it. Yummy!!

Thanks for the smoothie recipe. So many health benefits to beetroot. Just pinned it.-Anna

I Googled beets smoothies &amp; i came across your smoothie recipe it was absolutely delicious,  I am anemic, so I try to get as many beets into my daily diet as humanly possible, you can't even imagine how my dinner salads look. Lol. I tweaked it only by two ingredients,  I added some spinach, and 1/2 a piece of cactus fruit, and I absolutely have found my new dinner smoothie. Thank you! !!!!

Great recipe and doesn't even need any added sugars! Sweet enough from the berries. Thank you!

The best way I 've found to get protien into a smoothie is to add a scoop of firm tofu (about half  a cup). It adds no flavor but makes the smoothie super smooth. I use it in all of my smoothie recipes. It also has the effect of calming my acid reflux. Also, you can use canned beets.
