Ingredients & Notes
- Beetroot. Provides earthy flavor and lots of nutrients.

- Strawberries. I like to use frozen strawberries to give the smoothie a chilled, thick texture.
- Non-Dairy Milk. You can use any type of milk alternative that you prefer best. I like to use oat milk, but almond milk and coconut milk are also delicious.
- Rolled Oats. Gives the smoothie extra fibre and protein.
- Maple Syrup. You could also alternatively use agave syrup. Feel free to adjust the amount you add to your smoothie according to your preference and the sweetness of your fruits.
This smoothie is also great for adding any additional supplements, such as:
- Collagen
- Protein powder

SHOULD YOU USE FRESH OR FROZEN STRAWBERRIES FOR SMOOTHIES?
Some smoothie recipes need fresh strawberries, and others recommend frozen ones. So it is always dependent on what kind of smoothie you're making whether fresh or frozen will be best. Frozen strawberries are great to add that chilled, frozen texture and feeling - but using fresh will be just as tasty!
How to make a Strawberry Beetroot Detox Smoothie
Smoothies are so quick and easy to make - I think that's one of the reasons I love them so much! And this smoothie is no exception. It requires very little prep and so you can have your delicious smoothie ready in minutes.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE
Place the ingredients in a high-speed blender, starting with the milk. I like to use my Greenis Smart Power Blender.
STEP TWO
Blend until smooth and creamy. Check the consistency of the smoothie and add more milk if a thinner smoothie is preferred and more agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
STEP THREE
Pour into serving glasses and enjoy immediately. You can optionally top your smoothie with fresh fruit and mint.
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Use a good quality high-speed blender for extra smooth and creamy smoothies.
- Do not over-blend your smoothies as the blender will start to warm up the smoothie during blending.
- If your smoothie is too thin, thicken it up by adding a few ice cubes.
- If your smoothie is too thick, you can thin it down by adding some extra milk or water.
- You can turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl by halving the amount of milk used. This will create a thicker smoothie that can be poured into a bowl and topped with fresh fruit, seeds, granola, yogurt, or nuts.
- If you want to make more smoothie mixture, you can double or triple the recipe, just keep the ratio of ingredients the same.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
FRIDGE
Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. But you can also store them in an airtight jar in the fridge for 1 - 2 days. The smoothie might separate slightly while stored - but just give it a quick stir before enjoying it!
FREEZER
You can also freeze your Strawberry Beetroot Detox Smoothie for meal prep. Simply place it in an airtight freezer-safe jar, and freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost the smoothie, place it in the fridge the night before you want to drink it. Then stir and enjoy the next day!
RECIPE FAQS
How many servings is this smoothie?
This recipe makes two smoothies. You can halve or double the ingredients to make the amount that you need.
Does my fruit need to be frozen to make a smoothie?
No, it does not. You can use a combination of fresh and frozen fruit, or you can use all fresh or all frozen. I like using some frozen fruit so it makes the smoothie cold without adding any ice!
Is this smoothie healthy?
Yes! This smoothie is well balanced and contains lots of vitamins and minerals. The berries are full of vitamin c and antioxidants and the banana contains fibre and potassium.
Beets are full of healthy nutrients like folate, potassium, fiber, vitamin C, iron, and B vitamins. They also contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and they can even help the body in detoxification. So this smoothie is packed with health benefits.
What are the healthiest fruits to put in your smoothies?
The best fruits to use in a smoothie are ones that are low in sugar and high in nutrients and flavor - such as berries. Bananas are also a great addition to smoothies as they make the smoothie naturally thick and creamy, especially if frozen bananas are used.
