Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Cooked beet, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Frozen mixed berries
- 1 medium Banana, ripe
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
- 4 Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
1. If your beet is not already cooked, you can steam, boil, or roast it until soft (this step adds extra time). Let it cool completely before using.
2. Add the cooked beet, unsweetened almond milk, frozen mixed berries, banana, fresh orange juice, and chia seeds into a blender.
3. Add the ice cubes to the blender to give your smoothie a cold and refreshing texture.
4. Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
5. Taste the smoothie and, if you’d like it sweeter, add the optional maple syrup. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
6. Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. You can garnish with extra chia seeds on top if desired.
