You know, there’s something magical about beetroot.
It adds this beautiful color and a subtle earthiness that I can’t get enough of.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Beetroots are a powerhouse of nutrients, and you can easily swap in other berries if you have a favorite. I sometimes use blackberries for a different flavor. If you’re avoiding added sugars, skip the maple syrup—this drink is naturally sweet enough from the fruit!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my beetroot in the fridge wrapped in a paper towel; it stays fresh longer!
- •If you ever have leftovers, it makes a great base for a salad dressing—just add some vinegar and a bit of oil.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a scoop of protein powder if I want a post-workout boost.
- •If I’m feeling indulgent, a tablespoon of nut butter can add creaminess and extra flavor.
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before enjoying!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use cooked beetroot?
Yes, cooked beetroot works too, but I love the fresh taste of raw beetroot.
What if I don’t like beets?
You could try substituting with spinach or kale for a green version—just keep in mind it’ll change the flavor profile.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by peeling and cubing your fresh beetroot. I find that using a sharp knife makes this a little easier!
- 2
In a blender, toss in the cubed beetroot, frozen mixed berries, banana, and almond milk.
- 3
Blend everything on high until smooth. Depending on your blender, this might take 30 seconds to a minute.
- 4
Taste the mixture and decide if you'd like to add the maple syrup for extra sweetness; blend again if you do.
- 5
Lastly, stir in the chia seeds. If you let the drink sit for about 5 minutes, they’ll expand and add a lovely thickness.
- 6
Pour into your favorite glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves if you’re feeling fancy!
