Description
A vibrant and refreshing beet smoothie packed with fresh beets, ginger, and juicy fruits, blended to a smooth and slushy texture. Perfect for a nutritious start to your day or a healthy snack, this smoothie combines earthy beets with the sweetness of banana and strawberries, balanced by a hint of ginger and citrusy orange juice.
Ingredients
Produce
- ½ cup fresh beet, chopped (no need to peel)
- ½-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 frozen banana, cut into pieces
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
Liquids
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup milk of choice (or water)
Instructions
- Blend beets, ginger, orange juice, and milk: Combine the fresh chopped beets, peeled ginger, orange juice, and milk or water in a blender. Secure the lid and blend until very smooth with no visible pieces of beet or ginger remaining, ensuring a completely pulverized base.
- Add frozen fruit and blend again: Add the sliced frozen banana and frozen strawberries to the blender. Secure the lid and blend again until the smoothie achieves a slushy, smooth texture with no visible chunks. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if necessary to blend evenly.
- Serve immediately or store: The smoothie tastes best fresh and immediately after blending, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Leftover smoothie can also be poured into popsicle molds and frozen for a refreshing treat later.
Notes
- No need to peel beets since they will be fully blended.
- Adjust milk or water quantity for desired thickness.
- Use frozen fruits for optimal slushy texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 24 hours or frozen as popsicles.
