Ingredients
Handful of baby spinach leaves
2 small beets (or 1 large), peeled and chopped
10 blackberries
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 cup (250 ml) unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of choice)
4–5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and chop the beets into small cubes for easier blending.
- Place chopped beets, spinach, blackberries, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, and ice cubes in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add a splash more coconut milk or water if needed to adjust consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding honey or extra berries.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while cold and fresh.
Notes
Use raw or frozen beets; cooked beets yield a sweeter flavor.
Adjust sweetness with honey, agave, or extra fruit if desired.
For a thicker smoothie, use less coconut milk or add banana.
Make it vegan by using plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated up to 24 hours.
