Beet Green Berry Smoothie // a delicious, vibrant smoothie perfect at any time of the day.
I know for many of us, having time each morning to create a healthy, nutrient rich meal just isn’t feasible. Most mornings we’re doing good not to miss the school bus.
But as I’m sure you already know, breakfast is so important. And a healthy breakfast is even more important.
I know some mornings will require an easy, grab-and-go breakfast like these Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bars. I know life happens. Time is short. Especially when you like to sleep.
Some mornings, like those lazy Saturday mornings, you might have a little more time to make something more savory, like these Easy Breakfast Quesadillas.
But on the mornings when I know I send my kids off to school full of fresh fruits and veggies, I get an overwhelming sense of gratification. And the awesome thing is, they don’t even know that this Beet Green Berry Smoothie is packed full of nutrients their little bodies need.
Just look at all that goodness, y’all!
And like most smoothies, this Beet Green Berry Smoothie is super simple to make.
Beet Green Berry Smoothie
Beet Green Berry Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 big handful of fresh beet greens (I like to use the smaller, more tender greens closer down to the actual beet versus the larger leaves)
- about 1 packed cup of spinach and spring mix
- juice from ½ of a lime
- 1/4 cups frozen organic berries, left out to rest for about 15 minutes
- ¼ to ¾ cup water depending on how thick you like your smoothies to be
Instructions
You don’t necessarily have to let the frozen berries rest, but I find letting them rest yields more juice and a sweeter Beet Green Berry Smoothie.
And look at gorgeous color! I always love it when our food looks as beautiful as it tastes!
Remember, you can add more or less water depending on your personal preferences.
This recipe will easily make two adult servings. If you’re feeding small children, you can probably get to closer to four servings.

Those photos make my mouth water! So beautiful – and so healthy. I would feel great serving that to my kiddo too!
Jennifer says
I LOVE to make smoothies. They’re the only way I can sneak veggies into my husband. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Marcie W. says
Smoothies are a great way to get in some extra veggies (or sneak them in for kids). Beets are one thing we do not eat enough of around here!
Robin Rue (@massholemommy) says
I agree – I sneak in lots of stuff for the kids that way 🙂

Shelley Zurek says
I have never tried Beet Greens in anything but this definitely must be a great vitamin rich addition.
Jenny says
I have never heard of Beet Greens before!! This looks like a great smoothie I may have to try this out.
Michele says
If I had a blender I would definitely try this one–finally no bananas (I am allergic to them). I never think of beet greens as edible–wonder how they would be in a salad.
Heather Johnson says
I made something similar with beet greens for my kiddos. I mixed the beets with the greens for an even healthier baby food.
Alicia Taylor says
I recently discovered beets (beet chips) and loved them (to my great surprise). I’ll have to try this shake, but may need a little monk fruit for sweetness.
Debbie Denny says
I love having a smoothie. Never been much on beets, but this does look good with all the different flavors.
Karlyn Flores says
Looks like a great smoothie, my hubby was a huge fan of smoothie especially the all green veggies and fruits.
