Snowy-slushy-cold-grey February – I think you need a glowing glass of this vibrant beet and berry smoothie.

Featuring all the good things – raw beets, berries, whole citrus fruit, bananas and H20 baby.

Winter can be a strange time of year for smoothies, and we definitely don’t drink as many during the colder months of the year. But sometimes it’s nice to blend up the best that the season has to offer and sip a vibrant, glowing cup of fruit and veggie goodness.

In the case of this beet and berry smoothie the ingredients are pretty standard, but the flavor is definitely not.

It’s made with raw beets, mixed berries, an orange, and banana for added sweetness.

The result? A STUNNING smoothie that is bursting with juicy flavor and a color so gorgeous that it’s worth drinking for that reason alone.

But are beets good in smoothies? They are, indeed. And I’m so excited for you to try them in this recipe!

If you’ve never made a smoothie with beets before you might be wondering if you can put raw beets in a smoothie, or even how you would use beets in a smoothie.

The truth is that before this smoothie, I’d never tried adding beets to a smoothie myself. But when peeled and chopped, raw beets make a delicious addition to your homemade smoothies.

This beet smoothie is made with:

Raw beets
Banana – For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana.
Orange
Frozen berries – Any mix of frozen berries will work perfectly for this smoothie recipe. My personal favorite is raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries.
Water or coconut water – Either plain water or coconut water are both excellent options for this smoothie. Coconut water will add a little additional sweetness.
Ice – Ice is optional, however you may add a few ice cubes as desired to make the smoothie a little colder.

How to make a beet and berry smoothie

This smoothie is super easy to make. All you need is the 5 simple ingredients and a high speed blender.

Whole pieces of beet are no problem for a high powered vitamix, but if you don’t have a high speed blender you may want to chop the beets up small or grate them before adding to the blender.

What fruit goes well with beets?

Beets do have a slightly sweet flavor, but also fairly earthy and strong. Berries, bananas, and citrus are the perfectly bright and sweet pairing to their nuanced flavor.
