Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped or grated beets
- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup milk of any kind (dairy or plant-based)
Toppings (optional)
- Additional blueberries
- Plain yogurt (regular or dairy-free)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out 3/4 cup of frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup of chopped or grated beets, and half a banana. Choose your preferred milk, about 1 cup, to add to the smoothie base.
- Blend Smoothie: Place the blueberries, beets, banana, and milk into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk gradually to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and top with extra blueberries and a dollop of plain yogurt if desired. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavors.
Notes
- Using frozen blueberries helps to chill the smoothie and adds a thicker texture without diluting the flavor.
- Beets can be grated raw or chopped; cooking them slightly can mellow the flavor if preferred.
- The banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess, but you can adjust the amount to your taste or substitute with other fruits.
- Milk choice can vary: dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk all work well.
- Toppings are optional but provide additional texture and nutritional benefits.
