Tastes amazing with a vanilla alpro yoghurt. Tinned pinnacles and Beet it juice. Got an iced berry mix. Almost a thick dessert but damn best berry / beet smoothie ?
Delicious! I’m working this one into my regular smoothie rotation.
I add in 1 date, 1 tbsp hemp seed, 2 tbsp oats, 1/4 tsp tumeric and pinch of black pepper. I want to try adding in a handful of spinach next time..
I am new to making smoothies and just got a reasonably high powered blender (Ninja Supra) that works to make this raw, the smoothie is still textured (compared to, say a beet puree at a restaurant). Since the ingredients are uncooked, will this always be less than silky smooth? I don’t want to cook the beets because they lose some of their healthful compounds.
Hi Andrew! This will be creamy but not smooth due to the ingredients. You can always try to run it through a sieve of some sort to get the desired texture you are looking for. Hope this helps!
I found your web site today while searching for an Instant Pot chicken taco recipe (which I will make later) and was drawn to the beet smoothie recipe. Made it just now. Delicious! I had a can of diced beets on my shelf so that’s what I used. Using frozen pineapple is great and I added a small diced knob of fresh ginger. This is a versatile recipe that I will be making again, maybe sneaking in a bit of greens and oatmeal. Love your YouTube Channel!! Yes, I “liked” and “subscribed.” The video’s are well-made and the web site photographs are excellent. Keep up the good work!!
This is delicious! I added a dash of cinnamon and a few drops of vanilla to alter the taste though. I do that rather than add sweetener for almost all my smoothies. I also used a measured cup of raw beets, rather than a weighed 8 ounces of raw beets. 8 ounces of beets by weight is more than a small beet, and by far much more beets than all the other ingredients IMHO. So I thought it would be out of balance.
I will definitely make this several times when I harvest my beets! Thanks for the great breakfast recipe!
I actually tried this over using beet root powder. I LOVE it! I found that adding little things you like helps.The fiber was very strong for my gut so I will prob need to drink water between ounces or strain the beets. But I can’t get over the taste. But this was a terrific idea. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Chelsea! I’ve only tested the recipe as written, so I can’t say for sure how mango will taste in the smoothie or what else could be used instead of yogurt. The pineapple helps sweeten the smoothie and the yogurt helps make it creamy, so you want to use ingredients that will help do this in your smoothie. Hope this helps!
Hi.. I love beets. Glad I found u! I do have a vitamix, but I just purchased a Ninja Blast.. I’m gonna try this recipe in that .. easier to use. Bad weather here on the east coast.. I’ll let u know how it turns out as soon as I can get out and get some beets. 🫶🏼
Good smoothie! Tastes good I put ice in my cup at end after the drink is made and it tastes refreshing and not to say super healthy! I added hemp seeds which is so healthy cus it has so many nutritional benefits (fiber, protein, omega 3 & 6, so many vitamins too check it out on google or smthg). I would make this smoothie consistently because it tastes good and has numeral benefits! I did add some oats & water but dont worry it does not change taste.
Haven’t made recipe yet! It sounds good but I have a 15 oz can of sliced cooked beets, fresh pineapple & frozen blueberries & regular whole milk yogurt, honey, etc. Drain the canned beets?
Suggestions on how to modify the recipe would be appreciated
Hi Timothy, I haven’t experimented with a canned beet smoothie yet, mostly because I’m not wild about the flavor of canned beets. If you are a fan, you can certainly play around with that route. I assume you would drain it but not having used them, I’m really not sure.

Hi Cheryl! So glad you found us and so glad you enjoyed the smoothie! Thank you!
Hi Andrew & Erin , I just purchased a Ninja Supra myself…Black Friday. Will the beets stain the blender?
Thanks in advance.
Marsha
Hi Marsha! I’m sorry but I have no way of knowing if this is going to stain your blender or not. Hope you enjoy the smoothie if you give it a try!

Hi Amber! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Excellent… very tasty
Hi Linda! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
If I can’t have pineapple, could I use mango instead? And if I don’t do yogurt at all, is there something to replace that with?

This smoothie recipe is wonderful. The first time that I’ve used beets, but they are great; have a good taste and a give the smoothie a super color.

This is a great recipe. I make it in the mornings and it powers me through out the day. I’m looking forward to trying more smoothies from your page.
Great to hear, thank you Ashley!
Wow!!!Wow!!!I just made it and it was absolutely amazing.
Sounded very medicinal but, it was just delicious.
I just added a piece of organic ginger to it
Thank you for posting this smoothie
Yay! Thank you Jasmin!

Can you use sliced can beets for this recipe?
Jeannie, if you don’t mind the taste of canned beets, then yes! Note the smoothie might not be as thick
