Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 0.5 cup Raspberries
- 0.25 cup Beetroot (cooked, peeled)
- 1 scoop Vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 3 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by washing the strawberries and raspberries under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Let them drain in a colander.
Chop the cooked and peeled beetroot into small chunks to make blending easier.
In a blender, add the almond milk first to ensure smoother blending with the rest of the solid ingredients.
Next, add the strawberries, raspberries, and chopped beetroot to the blender.
Scoop in the vanilla plant-based protein powder and the Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
Sprinkle the chia seeds for a nutritional boost of omega-3 and fiber.
Add honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness, adjusting to taste preference.
Finish by adding the ice cubes to provide a chilled and refreshing quality to your smoothie.
Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter or thinner, add extra honey or a splash more almond milk and blend again.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a few whole raspberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added flair, and serve immediately.
