Ingredients Overview
The ingredients are easily available or can be procured from the local market. The recipe card has details of the exact measurements.
Beet- Boiled beet works best for this smoothie. I have boiled the beet a day in advance. If you like the strong bitter taste that comes from raw beets, you may skip the step of boiling it. Boiling the beet ensures that the beet taste mild sweet and are easy to blend in. Oats- I have used locally available rolled oats. You may also use quinoa. Coconut Milk- The creamy texture that coconut milk imparts to this beet smoothie is incredible. I have used both dairy and coconut milk. For making this recipe vegan, you may use only vegan milk. Flax Seeds- add the nutty flavor and you may substitute it with chia seeds. Chia seeds need additional soaking time. Milk- Any dairy milk works well to make this smoothie with a smooth consistency. You may add little water as well. Banana- Top the smoothie bowl with chunks of beet, banana and flax seeds. You may use any fruit of your choice. Maple Syrup- Though optional, maple syrup adds subtle sweetness and balances the flavor of this smoothie.
Variations
Try Another Vegetable- If you don’t like flavor of beets, the same recipe can be made with carrots or sweet potato. Try Another Green- Feel free to add fresh spinach, kale or mint leaves to this nourishing smoothie. Try Another Garnishing- Add chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans to top this smoothie.
Recipe Overview
Add oats, beetroot, coconut milk, plain milk, flax seeds, and a little maple syrup and grind coarse. Top it with your choice of fruits and enjoy it!!
Can I add Curd instead of Milk to Smoothie?
The curd smoothie tastes amazingly delicious too. Though I have not tried it with beetroot yet, but with cucumber, Bottle gourd, mint, the curd mixes really well and its a healthy treat.
Can it be Vegan?
Substitute dairy milk in this recipe with coconut milk or any other vegan milk.
How To Make Beetroot Smoothie
Step 1- Assemble Ingredients Gather all the ingredients and make sure to wash, peel and wash again the beets. They are root vegetable and are bound to be muddy. Boil them for one whistle for full in pressure cooker. If you are in a hurry, you may boil with peel as well.
Step 2- Blend Pour everything in blender and give it a pulse till everything is blended smoothly. If you prefer thick consistency, add less milk or else water to thin it.
Step 3 Serve It Top the smoothie with fresh banana, chopped beet, and flax seeds and enjoy it!
Expert Tips
Boil the beet in a day advance to make this recipe quicker. Don’t add all milk (dairy or non dairy) at once. Gradually add milk and blend so that the smoothie is smooth. For thick consistency, use coconut milk. For thin consistency, use water or dairy milk.
Storage Instructions
I recommend consuming fresh smoothie. You may store it in the refrigerator upto 2 days in a dry container with lid.
Stories from Kitchen
I have always loved beetroot and I could eat it raw and in soups. I remember waiting for Juice wala Bhaiya in summers to make a mixed juice that had fresh and damp beets. But we were not allowed much to have outside juice. It’s only after getting married, I could have the real fun of street food. My husband would take me to all places around us to the best own food joints. Amongst several experiments that I carry out in my Kitchen, each one has a unique story. This beetroot smoothie bowl is my first step towards healthy living! Whats your take on beets? Share your beet story with me !! You may also like- More Beet Recipes
