My Secret to Starting the Day Right: A Vibrant Beetroot, Banana & Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

The Ultimate Pink Power Smoothie

Tired of scrambling for a healthy breakfast every morning? Meet your new best friend: the Beetroot, Banana, and Strawberry Smoothie! This vibrant, easy-to-make recipe is the ultimate pink power drink, delivering a huge nutrient boost without tasting "too healthy." Thanks to the sweet bananas and strawberries, the earthy flavor of the beetroot is perfectly masked, leaving you with a delicious, creamy blend that takes just five minutes to prepare. And the best part? Make a batch tonight because tomorrow’s breakfast is already prepared! It’s the simplest way to add an antioxidant-rich, healthy smoothie to your busy routine.

A vibrant pink smoothie in a clear glass sits on a white coaster with "MAXTERCHEF" written on it. Around the glass are fresh ingredients: a sprig of mint, sliced strawberries, banana slices, and a whole beetroot, all resting on a rustic white wooden surface. In the background, a white pitcher and more bananas are softly blurred.

Forget the debate about texture - the real reason you should choose frozen over fresh strawberries for your smoothie isn't about ice, it's about pure, undiluted flavour. You might assume fresh is always best, but here's a delicious secret: frozen strawberries actually have a superior flavour profile. Why? They're flash-picked at the absolute peak of ripeness—that fleeting moment when their sugar content is maxed out. This clever freezing process locks in a perfect, intense burst of strawberry goodness, guaranteeing you a vibrant, flavorful sip in your Beetroot, Banana & Strawberry Smoothie regardless of the season. Say goodbye to disappointingly bland, watery berries; this is how you cheat the produce aisle and win every time.

Two whole beetroots, a ripe banana, a bowl of frozen strawberries, a small white pitcher of milk, an ice cube tray with ice, and a sprig of mint are neatly arranged, with a few water droplets scattered around.

Ready to give this vibrant concoction a try? Here's how I make my favorite Beetroot, Banana & Strawberry Smoothie:

⭐️Prep Time: 5 minutes
⏱ Cook Time: None

🍴Serves: 2


Ingredients

1. 50 g small cooked beetroot (peeled and diced) - you can also use 1/2 a small raw beetroot if your blender is powerful!)

2. 1 ripe banana (I love using a frozen banana for extra creaminess!)

3. 150 g frozen strawberries

4. 250 ml plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy – choose your favorite! Add more if you prefer a thinner consistency)

Instructions

1. Combine: Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender.

2. Blend: Secure the lid and blend until completely smooth and creamy. If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash more plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency.

3. Enjoy: Pour into your favorite glass and sip immediately!
