Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 bananas
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
Liquids and Additions
- ½ cup almond milk (or coconut milk)
- ¾ tsp beetroot powder
- 2 Wholesome Organic Stevia packets
- 1 tsp fish oil or flax oil (optional)
Instructions
- Thaw Fruits: Let the frozen strawberries and blueberries sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to blend smoothly.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the bananas, thawed strawberries, blueberries, almond milk, beetroot powder, stevia packets, and oil (if using) to a high-speed blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy fresh for the best taste and nutrient retention.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with coconut milk or any other plant-based milk according to your preference.
- Using frozen berries helps keep the smoothie cold and thick without needing ice.
- Beetroot powder can be adjusted to taste; start with less if you prefer a milder beet flavor.
- Adding fish or flax oil provides omega-3 fatty acids but can be omitted for a purely vegan recipe (flax oil is vegan).
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less stevia or by including a bit of maple syrup if desired.
