Notes
Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Give it a good shake before drinking to ensure it’s mixed evenly.
If you like a beetroot smoothie without banana, you can try substituting it with a sweet apple. I tested this alternative and found it to be delicious and refreshing.
For a thicker, creamier smoothie, use frozen banana, or if using fresh banana, add a few ice cubes.
If you're not using a high-powered blender, I recommend grating the beetroot and ginger instead of adding large chunks to ensure a smoother consistency.
To turn it into a beet smoothie bowl, reduce the water and top with granola, nut butter, seeds, or nuts for added texture.
