Including me (unless they're in the right recipe like this Berry Beet Smoothie, that is).

Ingredients Needed for Berry Beet Smoothie

Combined with strawberries and raspberries for sweetness, beets create a vibrantly colored smoothie that is packed with plant-based iron, fiber, folate, and vitamin C. A bit of frozen banana adds potassium and creaminess, and almond milk brings everything together while adding a subtle sweetness and vitamin E.

You will also need:

ice cubes
chia seeds
4 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish – optional

If you don't like almond milk, you can substitute water instead. It won't affect the taste much, it'll be fewer calories, and the color will be even brighter!

Recipe Instructions

To get started, you'll need to prepare the beets by washing them, wrapping them in foil, and then cooking them in the oven for about an hour. To save some time, you can do all this the night before so when you're ready to make your smoothie, you don’t have to fool with the beets.

From there it's as simple as tossing the ingredients in the blender and blending! Pour your smoothie in a glass, top with chia seeds, and enjoy.

Do I Use Raw Beets or Cooked Beets in this Berry Beet Smoothie Recipe?

Raw or roasted beets can be used in this recipe. However, roasted beets will yield a smoother texture and I think a much better flavor! Here’s a great article on how to roast beets from The Kitchn!

Can Roasted Beets Be Stored?

Yes! You can store the roasted beets in the refrigerator for several days until you are ready to use them.
