• 0.25 cup Beetroot (cooked, peeled)
• 1 scoop Vanilla plant-based protein powder
• 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 3 pieces Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the strawberries and raspberries under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Let them drain in a colander.

Step 2

Chop the cooked and peeled beetroot into small chunks to make blending easier.

Step 3

In a blender, add the almond milk first to ensure smoother blending with the rest of the solid ingredients.

Step 4

Next, add the strawberries, raspberries, and chopped beetroot to the blender.

Step 5

Scoop in the vanilla plant-based protein powder and the Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chia seeds for a nutritional boost of omega-3 and fiber.

Step 7

Add honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness, adjusting to taste preference.

Step 8

Finish by adding the ice cubes to provide a chilled and refreshing quality to your smoothie.

Step 9

Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter or thinner, add extra honey or a splash more almond milk and blend again.

Step 11

Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a few whole raspberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added flair, and serve immediately.
