Ingredients

  • 1 cup water or almond milk
  • 2 ounces raw red beet peeled and chopped (about ¼ cup)

Instructions

  • In the bottom of a blender, add water, beet, strawberries, and protein powder or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add honey if desired.

Notes

  1. Strawberries: To substitute fresh strawberries, add ½ cup ice or more to the blender.
  2. Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt.
  3. Honey: Taste the smoothie before adding any sweeteners, then start with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. If you use a vanilla-flavored protein powder, you probably won’t need anything.
  4. Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
  5. Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
