This Beets Smoothie Bowl, flavored with flax seeds, fresh beets, oats, and coconut milk, is a refreshing treat for summer. Made without any sugar as the sugar comes naturally from the beets!
This beetroot smoothie bowl came out of pure trial and error—mostly because my daughter refuses to eat beets. She can spot them in a salad from a mile away and always pushes the plate away. One day, I decided to blend the beets into a smoothie, hoping the bright color and creamy texture might change her mind.
I added some oats, coconut milk, and a spoonful of flax seeds, and poured it into a bowl with a few toppings. She took one look at the color and said, “Is this strawberry?” I just nodded and let her try it. She ate the whole thing without a word—and asked for it again the next day.
Now I make it whenever I have boiled beets left over. Sometimes I change it up—skip the oats and milk, throw in cucumber, carrots, lemon, and ginger for a quick blend. No rules here—just blend what you’ve got and see where it goes.

Recipe FAQs
Other than the cream, smoothies can be made naturally thick by adding frozen milk, frozen bananas or ice cubes.
Yes, you can use raw beetroot in a smoothie—just peel and chop it into small pieces before blending. It adds a bold color and earthy flavor, but blending might take a bit longer.
Beets pair well with fruits like bananas, apples, oranges, and berries for a sweeter blend. For a fresher taste, try adding ginger, lemon, carrots, or cucumber.
Stories from Kitchen
I have always loved beetroot and I could eat it raw and in soups. I remember waiting for Juice Wala Bhaiya in the summer to make a mixed juice that had fresh and damp beets. But we were not allowed much to have outside juice. It's only after getting married, I could have the real fun of street food. My husband would take me to all the places around us to the best own food joints.

- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon beetroot puree boiled and blended/mashed
- 1.5 cup coconut milk
- 0.75 cup plain oats
- 2 tsp flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. For beets, I have boiled and blended a day before. Boil for two whistles on full and simmer for 2 min and close the burner. Let it cool completely, before blending. You may mash it with spatula also as we will add it in blender anyway! You may do the same or use raw ones as well. Since raw taste bitter, you might like to add sugar.
- Add oats to blender.
- Add beets puree, coconut milk, flax seeds.
- Pulse for one min. It would be smooth and you can feel it grainy as it has oats.
