Beetroot smoothie
Instructions
Tip
When cooked, beetroot becomes sweet and slightly earthy, adding a beautiful colour to the smoothie. Boiling or steaming beetroot is the best way to use it in a recipe like this. These methods soften the beetroot, so it blends smoothly and preserves its natural sweetness and moisture. Clean the beetroot and cut it into smaller chunks to speed up the cooking process.

Try our beetroot smoothie with kiwi and berries
A perfect combination of beetroot, berries, and fruit, our beetroot smoothie with raspberry and blueberry is as colourful as it is delicious. With a dark purple smoothie layered on top of bright green kiwi puree, it mixes both textures and flavours. The earthy beetroot provides a solid flavour base, lightened by the fruity additions. Make it for a quick breakfast or snack to go, or serve it at a weekend brunch. No matter how you enjoy it, we are sure you will love this kiwi and beetroot smoothie.
Zingy and bright green twist of kiwi
A layer of deliciously tangy kiwi at the bottom of each glass introduces a delightful zingy flavour. It not only adds a refreshing burst of tartness but also a delightful texture contrast with its softness and slightly crunchy seeds. The vibrant, sunny flavour cuts through the creamy smoothie, bringing a lightness and a hint of exotic freshness. This layer of kiwi ensures that each sip has a tangy pop mixed with the creamy base.
Beautifully balanced by ginger and honey
This smoothie is a delightful blend of juicy berries and refreshing kiwi, but that is not all. What makes it truly special is the addition of fresh ginger and a touch of honey, which create a wonderfully sweet and spicy flavour profile. The fresh ginger lends a potent and almost zingy flavour to the smoothie, adding a spicy kick that lingers pleasantly on the tongue. For a delightful harmony in flavours, the honey brings a burst of sweetness, resulting in a smoothie that is both tangy and earthy with a touch of sweet.
Do you love the spicy kick of ginger in your smoothies? Then we suggest you also try our sweet mango banana smoothie with ginger, our strawberry ginger banana smoothie, or our green spinach and ginger smoothie with fruit.
Add your own touch
While raspberries and blueberries are delicious in this beetroot smoothie, you can also try strawberries, blackberries, or a mix of your favourite berries. A classic addition is greens, such as spinach or kale, which slightly alters its flavour to balance the sweetness of the berries and the earthiness of the beetroot.
It is delicious to serve as a smoothie bowl. Simply serve the smoothie in a bowl, swirl in the kiwi puree, and add your favourite toppings, such as crunchy granola, sliced fruit, and grains or seeds.
