Ingredients for Beetroot Smoothie

• Frozen or cooked beetroot: Prepped and ready to use for easy blending.
• Strawberries: Fresh or frozen.
• Cherries: I like using frozen pitted sweet cherries, but fresh or frozen both work.
• Banana: Adds natural sweetness.
• Pineapple: Fresh or frozen.
• Lemon juice (optional): Adds a tart, refreshing touch.
• Water or juice: Water keeps it light, juice adds extra flavor.
• Optional add-ins: Protein powder, yogurt, or extra fruit for a more filling smoothie.

Note on Frozen vs. Fresh Fruit:
I usually keep frozen fruit in my freezer for smoothies since it makes blending easier and gives the best texture. If you use fresh fruit, add a few ice cubes so the smoothie isn’t too watery.

My Go-To Smoothie Formula

• 1 cup base liquid - water, milk, or juice
• 1 to 1.5 cups frozen fruits/vegetables - berries, mango, pineapple, peaches, spinach, kale, etc.
• Creaminess/thickness (¼ to ½ cup) - frozen banana, yogurt, or nut butter
• Boosters (1 to 2 tablespoons) - protein powder, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or other healthy fats
• Optional flavor enhancers - a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a pinch of spices, or a splash of vanilla extract

If using fresh fruits/vegetables, add ½ to 1 cup of ice and adjust the thickness to your preference.

Tips & Variations

• Adjust the texture: Add more liquid if you like it thinner, or a few extra frozen fruits/ice cubes for a thicker smoothie.
• Boost the protein: Add your favorite protein powder, collagen, or Greek yogurt.
• Change up the fruit: Swap pineapple with mango or orange for a different flavor twist.
• Sweeten if needed: If your fruit isn’t very sweet, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
