Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped or grated beets
- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup milk of any kind (dairy or non-dairy)
Toppings
- Additional blueberries
- Plain yogurt (regular or dairy-free)
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure your blueberries are frozen, and your beets are chopped or grated to facilitate easy blending. Peel and slice the banana for easier blending as well.
- Combine in Blender: Place the frozen blueberries, chopped or grated beets, banana, and milk into a blender. Use 1 cup of milk, but adjust as needed for your desired smoothie thickness.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again until you reach your preferred texture.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and top with additional blueberries and a dollop of plain or dairy-free yogurt according to your taste. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Using frozen blueberries helps create a thick, chilled smoothie without the need for ice.
- Chopping or grating the beets before blending ensures a smooth texture without large chunks.
- You can substitute any milk of your preference, such as almond, oat, cow’s milk, or soy.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the quantity of banana or adding a natural sweetener if desired.
- Toppings are optional but add texture and flavor – yogurt adds creaminess and protein.
