Prepare the beet by cooking (either steaming, boiling, or roasting) until tender. Allow to cool completely, then peel and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked and peeled beet, unsweetened coconut milk, frozen cauliflower florets, fresh spinach, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and chia seeds.
Include the optional sweetener if a touch of added sweetness is desired. Adjust to taste.
Pour in cold water or add ice cubes to achieve your preferred consistency, starting with 1/2 cup and adjusting as needed.
Blend on high for 1β2 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust flavors if needed, adding more lemon juice for brightness or sweetener for extra sweetness.
Divide the smoothie between two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
