Ingredients in this Berry and Beets smoothie

• Beet: This vibrant root vegetable is the star of the show, giving the smoothie its gorgeous magenta hue. Beets are packed with essential nutrients like folate, potassium, and vitamin C. They’re also rich in nitrates, which can help improve blood flow and boost athletic performance. If you’re worried about the earthy flavor, don’t be—the sweetness of the berries balances it perfectly!
• Mixed Berries: A delicious blend of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries not only adds natural sweetness but also packs a powerful punch of antioxidants, especially vitamin C and anthocyanins, which promote skin health and fight inflammation. Using a mix of berries creates a more complex, flavorful smoothie, but feel free to customize based on your favorites!
• Banana: This creamy addition brings natural sweetness and a silky texture to the smoothie. It’s also loaded with potassium, which supports heart health and helps with muscle recovery. Plus, it’s an excellent source of quick energy to keep you fueled throughout the day.
• Almond Milk: A fantastic dairy-free option, almond milk keeps the smoothie light while adding a subtle nutty flavor. It’s low in calories and rich in vitamin E, which is great for skin health. You can easily swap it with other plant-based milk like coconut or oat milk depending on your preference.
• Chia Seeds: Tiny but mighty, chia seeds are a great source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. They not only enhance the smoothie’s nutritional value but also give it a slightly thicker, more satisfying consistency.
• Vanilla Extract (Optional): Just a dash of vanilla extract can elevate the flavor profile of this smoothie, adding a hint of warmth and sweetness that ties all the other ingredients together.

Every ingredient in this beets berry smoothie is thoughtfully chosen not just for flavor but also for its incredible health benefits.

Together, they create a deliciously balanced drink that nourishes your body while delighting your taste buds!

Benefits of beets

The humble beets shine in not only their gorgeous color when made in various dishes including this smoothie but beets have so many health benefits.

So let’s take a look:

Making this smoothie is easy. Just follow these simple steps:

Instructions

1. If using raw beets, make sure to chop them into small pieces for easier blending. If you prefer a milder beet flavor, roast them first for a sweeter, more subtle taste.
2. Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender: beet, mixed berries, banana, almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add ice cubes if you want a thicker consistency.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness as needed. You can add a drizzle of honey or more almond milk to your liking.
5. Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh berries, a sprig of mint, and a sprinkle of chia seeds for a beautiful finish.
6. Enjoy immediately and feel the energizing boost!

Variations and Substitutions

• Fruit Swap: Try swapping mixed berries with just strawberries or raspberries for a slightly different flavor profile.
• Greens Boost: Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost – the flavor will be hidden by the berries! While this is not as pretty it is so nourishing.
• Protein Power: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to turn this into a post-workout smoothie.
• Milk Alternatives: Use coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture or oat milk for a slightly sweeter taste.
• Use avocado instead of banana. Avocado adds omega 3 to this smoothie, fiber, and magnesium. Plus ups the creaminess of the smoothie. Add a little honey or sweetener of choice as avocado is less sweet.

Storage Tips

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick shake or stir before drinking, as separation is natural.

Enjoy your vibrant and nourishing beets and berry smoothie!
