Do you like pretty food? I do!

We eat with our eyes. If it looks good, we want to try it. This milkshake is sure to please the eyes with its beautiful, bold, bright pink color. It’s so pretty! 

We’re big fans of smoothies and milkshakes in my family, especially during the summertime. I usually end up making some version of fruit smoothies or chocolate smoothies. But lately I’ve been on a beet and berry kick.

I love adding beets to shakes and smoothies. They pair so well with sweet berries like raspberries and strawberries. 

Beets are delicious in milkshakes and smoothies! They’re super healthy too. Plus you can’t beat the gorgeous color they make.

Do you know the health benefits of adding beets to milkshakes and smoothies? 

Beets are known to lower blood pressure, boost stamina, support the liver and support detoxification. They are high in vitamin C, fiber, minerals like potassium and contain B vitamins.

Cooked beets are easier on the body and best for supporting digestion. It’s super easy to quickly prepare and cook the beets. When frozen, the cooked beets add a lovely creamy texture to shakes and smoothies.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. The day before you want to make the smoothie, freeze berries. Pour choice of milk into a BPA-free silicone or stainless steel ice cube tray. Freeze overnight until milk is frozen into ice cubes.
  2. Peel beets and cut into one inch chunks. Steam {using a steamer insert in a small saucepan} or low boil {in a small saucepan almost covered with water} until fork tender, about 7-10 minutes. Remove beets from saucepan, place on parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer until cold and frozen, about 1 hour.
  3. Place frozen berries, frozen beets, frozen milk ice cubes and all other ingredient in a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until smooth, thick and fully combined. [Note: If you're having trouble blending it, you can add a small amount of liquid, but try not to add too much or it won't be thick like a milkshake.]
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you use raspberries and prefer your smoothie to be seedless, strain through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
