Ingredients
- ½ cup almond milk unsweetened or milk of choice
- 1 cup blueberries mixed frozen berries as alternative
- 1 beet peeled and diced (about 8 ounces, small
- ¼ cup pineapple frozen
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt use non-dairy yogurt to make vegan, plain, nonfat
- honey plus additional to taste (use agave to make vegan, optional sweetener, 1-2 teaspoons
- chia seeds hempseed, and/or ground flaxseed (I like mine with a sprinkle of chia or hempseed; hempseed is what you see pictured in the photos); I also like to add 2 tablespoons oatmeal to make the smoothie even more filling, optional mix-ins
Instructions
- Place the almond milk, blueberries, beet, pineapple, and Greek yogurt in a high speed blender such as a Vitamix (if you do not have a high speed blender, I’d suggest microwaving, roasting, or lightly steaming the beets before using so that they are softer and puree more smoothly).
- Blend until smooth. Taste and if you desire a sweeter smoothie, add a little honey or date and blend again. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Notes
- While I wouldn't describe this smoothie as being too "beet-y," you can detect the flavor of the beets. If this is a concern, you can try reducing the amount of the beets and increasing the amount of berries. I like using either all blueberries or a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Adding 2 tablespoons oatmeal also mellows the beet flavor.
