Fruits and Vegetables
- 1 small raw beetroot, peeled (pre-cooked works as well)
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup (60 g) frozen raspberries (or other type of berries)
- 1 carrot, chopped into pieces
- 1 orange, peeled
Dairy and Liquids
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- 1 ¼ cup (300 ml) non-dairy milk (unsweetened almond, soy, or fruit juice, see notes)
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel the beetroot and carrot, chop the carrot into smaller pieces, and peel the orange to ensure they blend smoothly.
- Add to Blender: Place beetroot, frozen banana, frozen raspberries, chopped carrot, peeled orange, yogurt, and non-dairy milk into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency without chunks.
- Adjust Sweetness and Texture: Taste the smoothie and if desired, add more banana, dates, or maple syrup to sweeten. Add additional liquid for a thinner texture if needed, then blend briefly again.
Notes
- Milk: Unsweetened soy milk was used in the original recipe, but unsweetened almond or oat milk can be substituted. Regular cow’s milk is not tested. Alternatively, orange juice or apple juice can be used but will alter the flavor.
- Beet Flavor Intensity: To reduce the intensity of beet flavor, use only half a beetroot.
- Other Fruits: Frozen blueberries, strawberries, mixed berries, or tropical fruits like pineapple or mango can replace raspberries.
- Blender Recommendation: Use a high-speed blender and chop ingredients into smaller pieces for best results.
- Peeling: Peeling the beetroot and carrot is recommended for smoother texture and taste.
