    Beautiful red beetroots have many health benefits, are known to fight exhaustion, and contain many antioxidants.

    When combined with other ingredients like cilantro, lemons, and blueberries, they have a subtle sweetness and are refreshing without the dominant beet flavor.

    You can easily turn this into a beet smoothie recipe that serves 2, but we enjoy these vibrant-colored drinks as little wellness shots. Enjoy!

    Ingredients & Notes

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Here's what you need to make these delicious blueberry beet smoothie shots:

    Ingredients to make beet blueberry smoothies on a table.
    • Red beet: Either use one medium or two small red beets. 
    • Regular blueberries: You can also use wild blueberries or a combination of both. Wild blueberries usually have a more intense, sweeter taste.
    • Fresh cilantro leaves: This herb is cleansing and has citrusy flavors that pair well with the earthy flavor of beets.
    • Juice of fresh lemons: Adds extra vitamin C and a zesty kick.
    • Superfood honey: Add a touch of honey or, even better, superfood honey that also contains Bee propolis, royal jelly, and bee pollen.

    Variations

    Here are a few add-ons that might make this beet blueberry smoothie a little bit sweeter or creamier, whichever you prefer.

    • Add unsweetened coconut water for a thinner and sweeter consistency. Or add water, if preferred.
    • You can use frozen berries.  
    • I usually use raw beets, but you can use cooked, boiled, steamed, or roasted beets from leftovers instead of fresh beets.
    • Use golden beets. They are usually sweeter in taste than the humble red beet.
    • Add some unflavored collagen powder for a creamier consistency.
    • Serve with a handful of extra fresh fruits.

    Storage

    Enjoy these blueberry beet smoothie shots immediately, or store them in an airtight container or little wellness shot bottles in the fridge for up to five days.

    Sip And Enjoy

    You can't beat beets. These energy-boosting drinks are the perfect way to incorporate this vegetable into your diet.

    Enjoy it after breakfast, as an endurance-enhancing drink, or simply as an afternoon pick-me-up smoothie shot.

    Equipment

    • high-speed blender
    Servings 4 to 5 Servings

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 red beet, peeled or thoroughly washed about 270 grams
    • ½ cup packed cilantro leaves about 15 grams
    • 1 cup blueberries or wild blueberries about 145 grams
    • ½ cup lemon juice (or up to ¾ cup) 100 ml
    • ⅓ cup coconut water 79 ml
    • 1 teaspoon superfood honey or local honey

    Instructions
     

    • Coarsely chop the beet
      1 red beet, peeled or thoroughly washed
    • Add the chopped beet with the rest of the ingredients in a high-speed blender.
      ½ cup packed cilantro leaves, 1 cup blueberries or wild blueberries, ½ cup lemon juice (or up to ¾ cup), ⅓ cup coconut water, 1 teaspoon superfood honey or local honey
    • Blend until you have a beautiful red creamy drink.
    • Taste test and add more coconut water, if preferred.
    • Transfer to mini cups and enjoy! Or, for later use, transfer to an airthight container or wellness bottles and store in the fridge.

    Notes

    Helpful notes: 
    1. Beet: If you have a high-speed blender, you only need to chop the beet coarsely. If your blender has a weaker motor, it's best to grate the vegetable or dice it really small first. You can also use any leftover cooked or roasted beets.
    2. Blueberries: I often go for regular fresh blueberries, but you can also use frozen ones. If you like a sweeter taste, try fresh or frozen wild blueberries. Although smaller, they usually have a more intense, sweeter flavor. 
    3. If you want a natural, sweeter taste, try juicing Meyer lemons. They are less acidic, sweeter in taste, and more readily available in regular grocery stores—often offered next to regular lemons. 
    4. Water or coconut water: Only add more liquid if the beet smoothie drinks are a bit too thick for your taste. Coconut water will also add a sweeter taste if preferred. I usually do not add any water.
