Strawberry beetroot smoothie is made in just minutes from only three ingredients. It packs all of your daily recommended vitamin C into one glass.
There’s many reasons why I wanted to make this strawberry beetroot smoothie.
For a start vitamin c. It’s important to ensure that you get plenty of support for your immune system all year round. Particularly in winter.
Secondly, well because it’s been ages since I made a smoothie and I’ve been wanting to try the combination of strawberries and beetroot together for ages!
So folks, picture last Saturday, if you will........
I’m in the kitchen with packets of cooked beetroot, strawberries, bananas, vegan yogurt, almond milk, date nectar and stevia.
I’m ready for a good few hours of recipe experimentation to get this strawberry beetroot smoothie right.
Strawberry Beetroot Smoothie recipe experimentation. Take One.
A handful of chopped strawberries, 2 chopped cooked beetroots and a quarter of the carton of yogurt go into the blender.
I shout upstairs to my other half “Can you come and taste this please”.
I turn round a slit second later where Lynne is already standing. Spoon in hand. Ready.
One spoonful of the alluring frothy liquid and Lynne announces “Yeah that’s great, nothing more needed there. When can I have some”?
And hereby I created this delicious beetroot and strawberry smoothie.
My easiest, simplest smoothie recipe to date.
And then I began to get paranoid. I felt like a fraud.
Surely I couldn’t publish a recipe with only 3 ingredients? I mean that’s like cheating.
This strawberry beetroot smoothie was meant to be an elaborate fusion of a whole number of different ingredients!!
But then it struck me. That’s just what it is. Isn’t it?
I’d accomplished exactly what I’d set out to achieve. Plus more.
- Minimum ingredients. Minimum effort. Maximum Vitamin C.
- A unique and perfectly fusioned, simple, quick healthy strawberry beetroot smoothie.
I suppose sometimes simple is best.

Wow Neil - you nailed it on the first try! And with only 3 ingredients - one of which is my all time favorite - beets!!! LOVE this! I so need to try this as I have beets and strawberries and yogurt - though it isn't vegan!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Thanks Shashi, I thought you might like this one. 🙂
I haven't tried it yet with any other yogurts, other than the vegan one I had, which is sweetened. But I've had someone else try this out with plain yogurt and a little honey to taste. They said it worked out just great.
Hope you enjoy! 😀

OF COURSE ... YOU Shashi... WOULD ADORE THIS RECIPE!
LOL! Beet Queen!

Beet Queen and skillet Queen she surely is a talented lady! 🙂
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy
Wow, what a stunning colour that smoothie is! I just love adding beetroot to smoothies (usually my green smoothies) as it adds a nice earthy flavour to it.
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
I'm glad you like that "earthy" flavour too Dannii, this definitely has that. 🙂
I thought about adding a sweetener to this, but then that would have taken away that "earthy" flavour, and then the authenticity too.
Susie @ SuzLyfe
Crikey, this looks amazing. I bet you could freeze this for the most amazing frozen yogurt as well!
Also, Lynne, I like your style.
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
A frozen yogurt you say? Now I wish I'd thought of that myself! Brilliant!
I'd assume you'd adopt the same style as Lynne here? 😉
Jenn - a traveling Wife
I love adding beet juice to brownie mix because you never know its there. I never though my to add it to a smoothie. I'm going to have to give this a try.
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Hi Jenn, yes, I love adding beet juice to cakes and brownie mix too. I find it adds a really unique texture!
Thanks for giving this a try, hope you enjoy! 😀
Sam @ PancakeWarriors
This color is stunning!! I love beets but often forget i have them in the fridge. That has to change!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Thanks Sam, it's such a vibrant colour isn't it?
It's little wonder you get your full recommended daily allowance of vitamin C with that colour! It's almost glowing. 🙂
Vicki Bensinger
Wow this sounds fantastic not to mention beautiful! So nutritious. What better treat to give to your Valentine next month - a large glass of your Strawberry Beetroot Smoothie!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
That's a great idea Vicki. I think Lynne would be delighted with a glass of this strawberry beetroot smoothie......
.....along with the flowers, chocolates, wine, romantic meal etc... 😆
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Beets are one of my true loves 😉 Let those bad boys shine! Minimal is always beautiful!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Thanks Rebecca 🙂 , those beats certainly do shine in this recipe, for sure!
As I mentioned to you previously, I'm not one who does smoothies often. So the fact this one worked out so well, so quickly, was a blessing!
Melanie @ Melanie Cooks
Healthy, easy and just 3 ingredients - this makes this recipe a winner in my book! I love smoothies for breakfast or afternoon snack! Never tried adding a beetroot to smoothie, but sounds like a great idea!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
So glad you liked this recipe Melanie, thanks.
I'm jealous that you can have a smoothie for an afternoon snack though. I'd love to be able to do that, but I can't see my work being too happy at me chopping and then blending away in the kitchen. The blender noise would annoy the colleagues I work with, who might not be too happy. 😆
Love smoothies at the weekend, all weekend though! 😀
rachel @ athletic avocado
I lovet that this only has three ingredients, the more simple recipes are always winners in my book! This color is so beautiful and I love that you combined beets and strawberries together, yum!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
I was so nervous in publishing a recipe with only three ingredients Rachel, so I'm delighted by yours and everyone's overwhelming support, thanks! 🙂
You can bet I'll be aiming to keep to making as simple recipes as I can, like this, in future too. 😀
