4-Ingredient Beet Smoothie

It’s refreshing and massively nutritious. In addition to the beets, it’s got grapefruit and a couple kinds of veggies, so it’s not especially sweet, but the flavors are balanced nicely. Nutrition-wise, it’s loaded with vitamins and a compound that gets more oxygen throughout the body.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 lb beets (125 g) about 1 small beet
  • 1 leaf lacinato kale rib removed
  • 1 rib celery
  • 2/3 cup grapefruit juice about 1 medium pink grapefruit’s worth
  • 2/3 cup water

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend on low for 20 seconds, then on high for 30 seconds until smooth. Drink or store immediately.

Notes

The smoothie can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
Be careful of beet stains on clothes, cutting boards, countertops, and blender bowls. Don’t leave beets on surfaces longer than they need to be.
Be sure to clean and peel beets thoroughly before use.
Since beets vary so much in size, their measurement is given by weight. The weight given is the weight once cleaned and peeled.
You can substitute beet greens for the kale if your beets have greens attached.
