🍌Ingredients and Substitutions
- Red beet: I used raw beets for maximum nutrients, but cooked beets work fine too.
- Blueberries: Frozen blueberries keep it chilled and refreshing - no ice needed.
- Banana: Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Chia seeds: You can swap chia for ground flaxseed or hemp hearts.
- Lemon juice: Lemon brightens the flavor; lime juice is a great alternative.
- Plant-based milk: Almond milk is my choice, but oat milk or coconut milk work perfectly too.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.
🔪How To Make Beet Blueberry Smoothie
Step 1: Add the chopped beet, frozen blueberries, banana, chia seeds, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and almond milk into a high-speed blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the milk as needed for your desired consistency. Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately.
📋Variations
- Tropical twist: Add fresh pineapple and a splash of coconut water for a bright, tropical flavor boost.
- Spiced beet smoothie: Add a pinch of cinnamon and ginger for a cozy, warming flavor that pairs perfectly with the beets.
- Berry beet blast: Use mixed frozen berries instead of just blueberries and add a splash of orange juice for a citrus twist.
- Green boost: Throw in a handful of spinach or kale to sneak in some greens without changing the flavor.
💡Marinels's Tips
- Wear gloves when handling beets to keep your hands from getting stained.
- Use frozen fruits like blueberries and bananas to make your smoothie thicker and creamier.
- If your blender is not very powerful, cut the beet into small pieces before blending for a smoother texture.
- This smoothie isn't overly sweet on its own, so feel free to add a date or a splash of maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Yes! Cooked beets work well and give the smoothie a milder flavor and softer texture, making it easier to blend.
Absolutely! Adding a scoop of vegan protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter boosts protein and keeps it creamy and satisfying.
Store the smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it's best enjoyed fresh for maximum flavor and nutrition.
