Looking for a bright, gorgeous smoothie the whole family will love? This Blood Orange Strawberry Beet Smoothie is one MAJOR way to start the day! It’s not only beautiful to look at, but irresistible to sip after sip after sip.
I just hand over the Smoothie Project sheet to my kids (or use it for my own inspiration when I’m exhausted and need a few ideas) and let them come up with combinations like this one. It’s a fun way to get everyone involved and using their imagination first thing in the morning.
Would you like to save this?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
One of the biggest questions I get is “do you add beets raw or cooked”? You can add them either way, but I prefer raw beets for this smoothie. To get them to really puree you do need an high power blender, but if you peel them and cut into small pieces that should work too! If you don’t have blood oranges you can use a cara cara or navel orange too. We love the extra zip from the blood orange, but it’s all up to you and what you’ve got on hand! Cheers!
