Banana Beetroot Smoothie Ingredients

To make this delicious smoothie you’ll need:

• Raw Beet
• Banana
• Apple
• Plant Based Milk (I used rice almond milk)
• Lemon Juice

Beetroot Banana Smoothie Instructions

Beets can be on the pulpy side so you’ll need to blend this smoothie well. To keep it nice and chilled and perfect, it’s best if you can freeze your bananas before making.

Frozen bananas come in handy in so many smoothies, smoothie bowls and nice creams that I always keep some bananas on hand in my freezer, but if you don’t, then just peel your banana, break it into chunks, and freeze it for at least a couple of hours.

If you don’t have time to freeze bananas, you can use a smaller amount of milk and add in a handful of ice cubes.

Peel and cut your beet into chunks. Core and cut your apple into chunks as well. Throw the beet, apple, frozen banana, milk and lemon juice into the blender and blend until smooth.

As mentioned above, it might take a bit longer then with a regular smoothie to really smooth it out.

Can You Eat Beets Raw?

Beets can absolutely be eaten raw! In fact, they are more nutrient rich with more minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins then their cooked counterparts!

We love raw beets in our delicious Beet Slaw recipe.

Health Benefits of Beets

Like I said earlier, beets are a total power food. They contain almost all the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. They are also great for both athletes and weight loss.

There have been several studies proving that beetroot juice improves athletic performance allowing athletes to push harder and farther before they are exhausted.

Beets are packed with fiber, water and low in calories making them a fantastic weight loss food. The fiber and the water ensure you stay fuller longer, making them a great addition to any meal.

On top of all this, they are great for brain health, gut health, blood pressure, inflammation, eye health and heart disease. If you are looking for more ways to pack beets into your diet you can also checkout this coleslaw.
