Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized cooked beet (peeled and chopped)
- 1 large frozen banana
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 scoop vegan protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 pieces ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by ensuring your cooked beet is fully cooled and peeled if it's not already prepared. Chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked beet, frozen banana, almond milk, vegan protein powder, frozen mixed berries, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), and lemon juice.
Step 3
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled and creamy texture.
Step 4
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks remain. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary during blending.
Step 5
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more maple syrup.
Step 6
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, top with extra chia seeds or fresh berries for garnish.
