A great way to get all the goodness of beets into you and your child without the fuss. You should try it even if you don’t like beets, I just did.
Beetroot Smoothie a Healthy Breakfast Option
This Beetroot Smoothie when I first made it I did not share it with anyone. My thought was hubby will not like it and girls well lesser said the better. In fact, I did not expect to like it at all because I did not like beets
I loved it and hence I posted it. Hubby saw it on Facebook and kept on teasing me that I have put on weight is because I don’t share food with him. Finally just to shut him up I made it again.
Needless to say, after that, we have tried many more smoothies and shakes. I have listed them later in the post for your quick reference.
Of the different smoothies, I have tried the beetroot smoothie was a bit of a surprise I did not expect it to taste good. After all, like I said I have recently started liking beetroots.
Beetroot was first cultivated by the Romans. Beetroots the edible taproots and their leaves we enjoy are useful as a food colouring and as a medicinal plant. Sugar beet is an important product made from beetroot.
The other names for beetroots are table beet, garden beet, red beet, or golden beet.
Can you believe Beetroot, chard and spinach are from the same family? In a beetroot, you can eat the leaves that taste bitter and the root is sweet. The colour of beetroot can range from rich purple colour to golden.
The nutritional value of Beetroot and beetroot greens are huge.

You can freeze the beets to use them in smoothies but fresh is the best. In my place, we get beets all year round so I will never get in the hassle of freezing them.
To make this smoothie out of beets especially the raw beets you need a good mixer/blender. Something like this one here
If you do not have one that is specially designed to make these smoothies just grate the beets.
Don’t have a grater chop the beetroot fine.
But it is easier when you use cooked beets. You can use your regular mixer/grinder.
These cooked beets can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days so you can cook them. In case you do not plan to use them in a smoothie can always make some other dishes this stir fry, or a salad. I have even added to a cake too in the past.
Healthy Breakfast Options- Beetroot Smoothie
Beetroot Smoothie a Healthy Breakfast Option
This post is an update of an old post, where I had used just milk to make my smoothie. Why am I bothering with an old post? Well, I am a part of a Foodie Group where we are trying to update old posts every 15 days. The reason is what I did in the past is not necessarily what I do now. I used to make this smoothie with only milk and beets. Now I use different ingredients, I need to update my old knowledge with new. After all, lifestyles change. I am trying to include more of Simple yet Healthy Vegetarian Dishes In Old Age.
This is my old picture, the one I recovered after I lost data to a hack (Another reason some of my recipes are lost) . Very pretty isn’t it? But now I like to think my pictures have become better, my writing skils have improved. LOL!
