Beet Berry Smoothie Bowl (Printable)

A vibrant blend of berries and beetroot topped with granola and fresh fruit for a nutritious breakfast.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 small cooked beetroot (about 3 oz), peeled and chopped
02 - 1 cup (5 oz) frozen mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
03 - 1 ripe banana
04 - 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk or preferred plant-based milk
05 - 1/2 cup (4 oz) plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for vegan option
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)

→ Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup (1.5 oz) granola (gluten-free if needed)
09 - 1/2 cup assorted fresh berries
10 - 1 kiwi, sliced
11 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
13 - Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

# Directions:

01 - Combine beetroot, frozen berries, banana, almond milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as necessary. Add additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time if a thinner consistency is preferred.
02 - Pour the blended mixture evenly into two serving bowls, using a spatula to transfer all contents from the blender.
03 - Arrange granola, fresh berries, kiwi slices, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and mint leaves attractively on top of the smoothie base.
04 - Enjoy the smoothie bowl right away while toppings remain crunchy and the base is at optimal texture and temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way the beetroot makes berries taste like themselves but somehow better
  • It looks like a fancy cafe breakfast but takes ten minutes and costs a fraction of the price
02 -
  • The frozen fruit is nonnegotiable here because fresh fruit will make the mixture too thin and watery
  • Your blender needs to be powerful enough to break down the beetroot completely or you will get unpleasant chunks in your bowl
03 -
  • Cook and peel several beets at once and store them in the fridge so you can make this smoothie bowl anytime without the prep work
  • Freeze your own overripe bananas in chunks so you never have to buy frozen fruit specifically for this recipe
