Beet Berry Smoothie With Greek Yogurt

This Beet Berry Smoothie With Greek Yogurt is a bright, creamy blend made for colorful mornings and easy snack breaks. Sweet mixed berries and banana soften the earthy flavor of cooked beet, while Greek yogurt adds a thick, spoonable texture. A small scoop of oats helps the smoothie feel extra satisfying without making the recipe complicated. The result is a gorgeous ruby smoothie that looks Pinterest-pretty and tastes fruity, cool, and lightly tangy.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cooked beet pieces, chilled
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1/2 ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice, plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
  • 1/2 cup ice, optional

How To Make It

  1. Add the milk and Greek yogurt to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly and keeps the thicker ingredients from sticking.
  2. Add the cooked beet pieces, frozen mixed berries, banana, oats, and optional honey or maple syrup.
  3. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the oats and beet are fully blended and the smoothie looks creamy.
  4. Check the texture. For a thinner smoothie, add another splash of milk. For a frostier smoothie, add the ice and blend again until smooth.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away while it is cold and thick.

Tips

  • Use cooked, chilled beets for the smoothest flavor. Steamed, roasted, or canned beets all work; if using canned, drain them well first.
  • Frozen mixed berries make the smoothie thicker and colder. A mix with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries is great.
  • If you want a stronger berry flavor, use berries with a tart edge, like raspberries or blackberries.
  • For an extra-smooth texture, blend the oats with the milk for 10 seconds before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  • Adjust the sweetness after blending. The banana and berries may be sweet enough, especially if your beet is naturally sweet.
  • To prep ahead, portion the beet pieces, berries, banana, and oats into a freezer bag. Add yogurt and milk when you are ready to blend.
  • Serve it in a clear glass to show off that beautiful deep pink color.

Blend it up and enjoy every cheerful sip!
