    About Banana Beet Smoothie

    Creamy, sweet, and detoxifying, this magenta-hued Banana Beet Smoothie is a powerhouse drink to start your day with.

    Make it using raw beets, cooked beets, or even canned ones; it tastes great and comes together in 5 minutes.

    Banana and beet smoothie is a delicious combination of banana, beetroot, celery, yogurt, milk, and honey. It has a beautiful vibrant pink color due to the use of beetroot and a thick creamy texture from the bananas.

    This smoothie comes together in 5 minutes and is very adaptable.

    It is naturally gluten-free and can be easily made vegan. You can easily double or triple the recipe.

    This smoothie is a great way to include beet in your diet, especially if you are not particularly fond of them.

    Health Benefits Of Beet Banana Smoothie

    Beetroots are loaded with natural fibers, antioxidants, Vit C, and minerals like folate, potassium, etc. Beetroot is very good for the skin as it improves the blood flow in our body. It is also an excellent option for detox and weight loss.

    Banana is rich in dietary fibers and minerals like manganese and potassium. It is also a great source of Vit B6 and Vit C.

    Celery is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

    Ingredients

    Beet Smoothie Ingredients.

    Beetroot – Beet comes in a wide variety, and all the varieties have different taste profiles. I have used red beets to make the smoothie, but you can go ahead and use whichever you prefer.

    You can make this smoothie using raw beet, cooked beet, or canned beet. However, my favorite way is to use raw ones. It’s the most nutritious too.

    Banana – Banana makes the smoothie super creamy and balances the bitterness of the beets.

    Celery – It also mellows down the beet-y flavor. You can replace it with carrots or red apples.

    Milk and Yogurt – These ingredients make the beet smoothie nice, filling, and creamy! You can also opt for non-dairy options to make a vegan and dairy-free version of this smoothie.

    Honey – I have added honey to make it a little sweet, but if you like your smoothies to be less sweet, you can avoid adding it. You can use maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar-free options like stevia or monk fruit instead.

    How To Make Banana Beet Smoothie

    Preparation

    Wash a medium beetroot well and scrub it to remove any mud. Discard 0.5 mm of the top and the bottom tip using a sharp knife. Peel the beetroot using a vegetable peeler. I like to peel the beets as the skin is slightly bitter.

    Now chop it into small cubes. If you have a high-speed blender, you can chop it in big chunks, but if you have a regular blender, chop it finely.

    Beets are notorious for staining everything that comes in their contact. So be very careful while chopping them. Use old knives, chopping boards, and bowls, and wear gloves if you don’t want your hands to be stained.

    Peel the banana and cut it into slices. Freeze the slices for 3-4 hours. If you have forgotten to freeze the banana, add a few ice cubes while grinding the smoothie.

    Chop one stalk of celery. Discard the leaves.

    Make The Smoothie

    Add

    • ½ cup cubed beetroot
    • ½ cup frozen banana
    • 1 stalk celery, chopped
    • 1 cup plain yogurt
    • ¼ cup milk
    • 2 teaspoon honey

    to the medium jar of a high-speed blender.

    All the ingredients added to a blender.

    Blend until smooth.

    Add some more milk if the smoothie is thick for your liking.

    Check for honey and add more if needed.

    Ready banana beet smoothie.

    Pour the smoothie into serving glasses. Garnish with a sprig of mint and edible flowers (optional) and serve immediately.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make a beet smoothie bowl?

    Skip adding milk to the recipe, and make a thick beet smoothie. Add the smoothie to the bowl and top it with toppings of your choice to make it wholesome. I like to top mine with granola, slivered nuts, fresh-cut fruits, chia seeds, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, or nut butter.

    Variations

    Apart from making the basic beet smoothie, you can add other ingredients and make many variations. Listing a few of my favorites below.

    • Beetroot + Apple + Celery + Carrot Juice + Milk/Almond Milk + Ginger
    • Apple + Beetroot + Lime + Fresh Mint + Water
    • Beetroot + Frozen Blueberry/Strawberry/Raspberry + Frozen Pineapple + Milk/Almond Milk + Greek Yogurt + Chia Seeds
    • Beetroot + Frozen Berries + Frozen Banana + Milk of your Choice + Honey
    • Apple + Banana + Flax Seeds + Beetroot + Kale + Mixed Berries

    Add beet greens, ginger, vanilla, etc., to this drink.

    Freeze leftovers in popsicle molds for a summer treat.

    Add protein powder to it for a pre or post-workout snack.

    Storage Suggestions

    This smoothie tastes best when made fresh, but you can store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It will split a bit, so shake it well before serving.

    If you want to meal prep the smoothie for the week, store it in freezer-safe mason jars and freeze it. Whenever you plan to drink it again, place the jar in the fridge and defrost it overnight. Shake well before serving.
