Ingredients Overview
The ingredients are easily available or can be procured from the local market. The recipe card has details of the exact measurements.
- Beet- Boiled beet works best for this smoothie. I have boiled the beet a day in advance. If you like the strong bitter taste that comes from raw beets, you may skip the step of boiling it. Boiling the beet ensures that the beet taste mild sweet and are easy to blend in.
- Oats- I have used locally available rolled oats. You may also use quinoa.
- Coconut Milk- The creamy texture that coconut milk imparts to this beet smoothie is incredible. I have used both dairy and coconut milk. For making this recipe vegan, you may use only vegan milk.
- Flax Seeds- add the nutty flavor and you may substitute it with chia seeds. Chia seeds need additional soaking time.
- Milk- Any dairy milk works well to make this smoothie with a smooth consistency. You may add little water as well.
- Banana- Top the smoothie bowl with chunks of beet, banana and flax seeds. You may use any fruit of your choice.
- Maple Syrup- Though optional, maple syrup adds subtle sweetness and balances the flavor of this smoothie.
Variations
- Try Another Vegetable- If you don't like flavor of beets, the same recipe can be made with carrots or sweet potato.
- Try Another Green- Feel free to add fresh spinach, kale or mint leaves to this nourishing smoothie.
- Try Another Garnishing- Add chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans to top this smoothie.
Recipe Overview
Add oats, beetroot, coconut milk, plain milk, flax seeds, and a little maple syrup and grind coarse. Top it with your choice of fruits and enjoy it!!
Can I add Curd instead of Milk to Smoothie?
The curd smoothie tastes amazingly delicious too. Though I have not tried it with beetroot yet, but with cucumber, Bottle gourd, mint, the curd mixes really well and its a healthy treat.
Can it be Vegan?
Substitute dairy milk in this recipe with coconut milk or any other vegan milk.

FAQ
It depends on how healthy you actually make them. Adding too many dry fruits or sugar can make a heavy smoothie. Try making a smoothie healthy by using just vegetables and the sweetness that comes from fruits. They are no doubt a great source of fiber and healthy carbs to replenish your energy levels after a workout!
Beets are rich source of sugar, fiber, iron and potassium. They are good for heart and maintaining cholesterol and blood levels normal.
Other than the cream, smoothies can be made naturally thick by adding frozen milk, frozen bananas or ice cubes.
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 summers 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 places around us to the best own food joints.
Amongst several experiments that I carry out in my Kitchen, each one has a unique story. This beetroot smoothie bowl is my first step towards healthy living!
