I love quick breakfast ideas. Making smoothies are super quick options for any mornings. I love making smoothies as they are so versatile to prepare. Combine what you love the most with what you like the least. In this way, you will get the nutrition and you won’t feel you are eating things that you hate to eat. For example this beet banana smoothie! We both don’t like beet. For me, it is one of the many things that I don’t like to eat (:P) and for Tushar, it is rare that he doesn’t like beet. What I love about this smoothie is that it is…
- tasty
- filling
- nutritious
- super quick to prepare
- and it’s vibrant pink color

I really love beets. We love to roast them or pickle them. And we plant tons of them in our garden every year. We have them on salads and we really just love beets. But I have never taken a raw beet and eaten it, or thrown one in a blender for a smoothie. I am definitely going to try this, I love bananas too. It sounds like it might be right up my alley and it’s pretty gorgeous. I will pin this recipe and go pick up some Beets!
Congratulations!

This sounds like the perfect way to mix up my breakfast routine. Never thought of putting beets in a smoothie, but it makes for such a beautiful looking drink!!
Did you use fresh need or can need? If fresh did you cook it ? I k ow some people juice it raw???
Hi Roann,
I used fresh raw beet in this smoothie. I never felt its raw taste in the smoothie. Hope this helps.
This smoothie recipe is perfect!! I loved it. I used frozen banana and added 3 ice cubes. I believe the trick is to use a high speed blender so there are no pieces of the beets. I used my ninja blender and it was amazing, very smooth. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Mayrim, I’m glad you liked this smoothie. You are right. A powerful blender does make a difference in the texture of the smoothie.
I just tried this and was pleasantly surprised as to how much I liked it! I didn’t have chia seeds so I used ground flax seeds instead
