Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2-3
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cooked beetroot (peeled and chopped)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 banana (ripe, peeled)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup water or almond milk (to blend)
- Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure the beetroot is cooked, peeled, and chopped into manageable pieces.
- In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped beetroot, fresh or frozen blueberries, and the ripe banana. The sweet aroma of the banana will balance the earthy beetroot, creating the perfect base.
- Add the Greek yogurt for a creamy texture, followed by the freshly squeezed orange juice. You will notice the tangy aroma of the orange juice uplifting the mixture.
- Add the honey to sweeten the smoothie naturally. Adjust the amount to your taste if necessary.
- Pour in the water or almond milk to achieve the desired consistency. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more liquid and blend again.
- Once well-blended, pour the vibrant smoothie into chilled glasses. If you prefer a colder drink, add a few ice cubes directly to the glasses before pouring.
- Serve immediately and enjoy each refreshing sip with your family!
Helpful Tips and Variations

Storage and Substitutions
