While my website focus mainly on party food recipes I still have some other recipes that I like. Originally, I created this beet detox smoothie in 2015 but I’ve decided to refresh photos since it is one of the most popular recipe on the blog. Beets are huge part of my diet. The reason for that is I grew up eating lots of beet soups and salads. Did you know that beets are very low in calories? However, they are packed with so many minerals and vitamins including Vitamin C, B6, folate, magnesium, potassium, iron and manganese. Beets help to lower blood pressure, fight with inflammation and improve digestion. Moreover, beets help your body detox and lose weight. How beets will detoxify your body? It all happens in the liver when phytonutrients called betalains help to detoxify and remove the toxins from the body.

How to make Beet Detox Smoothie

Firstly, buy all necessary ingredients: beet, strawberries, blueberries, banana and water. Secondly, the beet needs to be cooked for half an hour to make it softer and blend better. In the blender, add cooked beet with remaining water, strawberries, blueberries and banana. Blend and drink:)

Tips to make Beetroot Smoothie

  • It is not necessary to cook the beet, however I found it easier to blend. The beet is softer.
  • Don’t drain the water from cooked beet. Use it in the smoothie! It contains flavor and nutrients.
  • Add more water if the beetroot smoothie will become thick.
  • I used my favorite Ninja Blender for this smoothie. It blends fruits and vegetables smoothly. I use my blender basically daily for smoothies.

    I have done a variety of detox smoothies over the years, and I find it amazing all the different benefits of varying the fruits and vegetables in the drink. Beets have fantastic qualities!

    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!!
