Since I remember I was a beet fanatic. That’s why I decided to make a healthy beet detox smoothie. I bought two huge bags at Christmas season and I still have it. I eat them often as my side dish… now I’m thinking about mashed potatoes, meatballs and lemony beets. As for me this is definitely perfect dinner combination.
I’ve never done beet detox smoothie so I figure it out I should try and make it. To make it sweet I added strawberries, blueberries and banana. That was perfect. Even my younger son —> yes the one that does not eat veggies<— loved it! I will probably make more often beet detox smoothies in the future. I will try with different veggies and fruit combinations. I can’t wait to try.
I noticed that green detox smoothie are so popular lately but I’ve never done it. I will get there eventually… I just have to think what ingredients will I use. For now, I made sweet beet detox smoothie that is so delicious. You can taste a beet juice a little while drinking. But still if you love them; you will definitely like this beverage. This detox smoothie was so easy to make. First, I cooked the beet for 2 hours and then I blended with my Ninja Blender
with all fruits. I love quick and simple recipes.
Look at this vibrant beautiful color. I’ll tell you this is one of the prettiest detox smoothie. It’s even perfect for upcoming Valentine’s Day. Which reminds me that I have Printable Valentine’s Day Chalkboard Tags to download for Free.

I really wish I could like beets… correction I can ONLY eat beats if they are EXTREMELY hot, so straight out of the microwave, or off the stove. Bleh!!
I know… hate them or love them… most people see this way. I grew up eating them, maybe that’s why I like them. Thanks For visiting my blog!

Beets are such a great source of iron and are a blood purifier. We eat them regularly in our next of the woods.

I have Never tried beets! If I did-it would be like this!
Beets are good Velerie… I like them. Thanks
I love my smoothies but have never tried adding beets! I love that idea! This looks amazing, Ilona!
My mother just to give me a lot of beet juice mixed with carrot and orange juice, or blended with milk, since I was a child for breakfast and I loved it, bt let me tell you…mi mother and I never cook it or boiled unless it was for a “Red Salad” (Beets, red potatoes, cilantro and mayonnaise) bcs it has to be soft. If you cook it, you’ll take away all the good properties and vitamins for the juice. Now I make my own “Red juice” (Beets, red apple, blueberry, strawberries, banana and Chía seeds, honey & water)let it rest for 15 min and enjoy it, but only in the morning as a antioxidant and detox. And for lunch “The Green Juice”(Celery, spinach or kale, green apple, avocado, broccoli, banana, oatmeal or Chía seed honey & water) this one will give you all the fiber, energy and vitamins you need. You can take either one of this after a workout but must add egg whites, almond butter, banana @ oatmeal to recover the energy and give the protein to gain muscle…You’ll love it!!
Thank you for advice, I will definitely make your smoothies. They seem so delicious.
why cook the beet?. I juice them raw.
You can juice them raw also.
