Roasted beets used to intimidate me until I started tossing them straight into the blender. This strawberry beet detox smoothie hides their earthiness behind bright berries, and the color is honestly the best part.
Vibrant Strawberry Beet Detox Smoothie With Gorgeous Color Recipe
This smoothie features a vibrant mix of strawberries, cooked beets, and Greek yogurt, blended with coconut water for a creamy, nutrient-rich drink. It comes together in 10 minutes and serves 2.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup cooked beets, diced
- 1 banana, peeled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup coconut water or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and prep all produce. Hull the strawberries, peel the banana, and measure the rest.
- Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the fruit with the liquid base. Add sweetener if you like.
- Adjust Consistency: Blend until smooth. For a colder drink, add ice and blend again.
- Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy right away.
Give it a quick stir before pouring, since the beet tends to settle. A squeeze of lemon on top keeps the red from dulling.
