Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized cooked beet (peeled and chopped)
- 1 large frozen banana
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 scoop vegan protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by ensuring your cooked beet is fully cooled and peeled if it's not already prepared. Chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked beet, frozen banana, almond milk, vegan protein powder, frozen mixed berries, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), and lemon juice.
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled and creamy texture.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks remain. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary during blending.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more maple syrup.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, top with extra chia seeds or fresh berries for garnish.
