Pretty Pink Beet, Blackberry & Oat Smoothie

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This pretty pink beet, blackberry & oat smoothie was specifically crafted and tweaked to yield this pretty shade of pink. Not because pink is my favorite color (because it isn't, blue is), but because the wintry weather and bleak landscape of a Chicago January elicit cravings for bright, bold colors.

Pretty Pink Beet, Blackberry and Oat Smoothie

A couple spoonfuls of fresh beets and a small handful of blackberries are all that's needed to offer this smoothie that lovely pink hue. However, if you want to up the nutritional ante, go on and ramp up the beets and blackberries. I certainly won't stop you.

Pretty Pink Beet, Blackberry and Oat Smoothie

To make this tall glass of loveliness, you'll start by soaking rolled oats in boiling water for just 10 minutes to soften and make them easier to digest. Then, you'll add the soaked oats to a blender along with frozen bananas, almond milk, blackberries, beets, almond butter, and a splash of vanilla (if you'd like).

Give it a quick blend until smooth, and pour yourself a pretty pink glass of goodness.

Course Smoothie
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 (12-ounce) smoothies

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • 2 ripe and speckled bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup fresh or frozen blackberries (about 5 to 6 blackberries)*
  • 2 tablespoons fresh peeled and finely-diced beet*
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the rolled oats and boiling water and let stand for 10 minutes to soften the oats. Strain and rinse.
  • Add the soaked oats, frozen bananas, almond milk, blackberries, grated beet, almond butter, and vanilla (if using) to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

Notes

*Feel free to up the amount of beets and blackberries to increase the nutritional charge of this smoothie. It will take on a deeper hue but will be equally, if not more, delicious.

    I love this smoothie! Beets are one of my favorite ingredients to sneak in because they add so much color and natural sweetness! This is perfect!

      Thanks so much, Tori! Beets are little color miracle workers, aren't they? And the sweetness they add is always such a pleasant surprise! :)

      It really is a spirit booster! Like a pink ray of light amidst all the gray and ice. Although perhaps a bit too chilly to enjoy alongside this lovely -2 degree weather!

    Wow, I don't remember how I found your recipe, but girl, did it help me to come back to myself entirely. I barely slept last night and woke up feeling not here at all, and after drinking this (adding a whole peeled and shredded beet, 1/2 a cup of oats, cinnamon, vegan protein powder and changing almond milk for hemp milk) I feel more refreshed and awake, I feel human again haha. Thank you so much!

    PS: I do, too, post recipes but on instagram, here's mine if you want to check it out: @ohvegans. ;)

      Valeria, thank you for this. Reading it just brought a smile to my face and perked up my own somewhat sleepy start to the day. Thanks for taking the time to come back and share! Happy Friday. xo
