Ingredients
  

  • 1 small raw beet (about 3–4 ounces), peeled and chopped
  • 1 small apple (any crisp variety), cored and chopped
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries (or raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup coconut water (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (dairy or dairy-free), optional for creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional to taste
  • A few ice cubes, as needed for thickness
  • Pinch of sea salt, optional to enhance flavor

Method
 

  1. Prep your produce: Peel and chop the beet and carrot into small pieces so they blend easily. Core and chop the apple. Peel the ginger.
  2. Load the blender: Add coconut water (or almond milk) first, then beets, carrot, apple, ginger, lemon juice, frozen berries, yogurt (if using), chia seeds, and a small pinch of salt.
  3. Blend until smooth: Start on low to break down the harder pieces, then increase to high for 45–60 seconds. Add a few ice cubes if you want it colder or thicker.
  4. Taste and adjust: If it’s too earthy, add a little more lemon juice or a few extra frozen berries. For sweetness, blend in 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup.
  5. Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass. The color will be vibrant and the texture silky with a light, refreshing finish.
