Beet Smoothie
In the ever-evolving landscape of health and wellness, the humble beet takes center stage, not just as a salad star but as the vibrant heart of a new sensation – the beet smoothie.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized beetroot (peeled and chopped)
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup spinach leaves (washed)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and peel the beetroot, then chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Clean the berries and remove any stems.
- Peel the ripe banana.
Assemble the Blender:
- Place the chopped beetroot, mixed berries, banana, spinach leaves, Greek yogurt, and almond milk into a blender.
Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk until you reach your desired texture.
Add Chia Seeds:
- Toss in the chia seeds and blend for a few more seconds to incorporate them evenly into the mixture.
Adjust Sweetness (Optional):
- Taste the smoothie and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Blend again to combine.
Serve:
