Berry Beet Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 Beets, cooked and peeled
• 1 ½ cups Frozen mixed berries
• 1 Bananas, frozen
• ½ cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Oat milk
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• ½ Lemon
• 1 tbsp Ground flaxseed

Method

1. Blend everything until completely smooth, about 60 seconds. Liquid goes in first, frozen things last — that is how a blender avoids an air pocket under the blades.
2. Taste. Beets are sweet but earthy; the lemon is what makes it read as fruit rather than as vegetable.
3. Vacuum-packed cooked beets from the produce section make this a five-minute drink instead of an hour.

Notes

✨ The restaurant touch

A pinch of salt in any smoothie. It does the same thing salt does in a cookie.

🧒 For the kids

Call it the purple one. Add half a date if it needs to be sweeter.

🥡 Leftovers

Drink it now — it separates. Freeze leftovers in a lolly mold.
