❣️Why you'll love this recipe
When you first go gluten-free, breakfast can be a bit hard to figure out.
So many of your go-to breakfast foods are packed with gluten!
But that's where smoothies can come in real handy.
Smoothies can pack soooo much nutrition into every sip - that's why I love them! And this beet raspberry smoothie packs in protein, antioxidants and fibre - no yogurt needed.

📝Ingredients
- Almond milk
- Frozen raspberries
- Banana
- Beets, frozen (and pre-cooked)
- Vanilla protein powder
See recipe card for quantities.
🔪Instructions
Add the almond milk, raspberries, banana, beets and protein powder to a blender.
I like to add the milk last but it really doesn't matter if you have a high-powered blender.
Blend until smooth (look at that bright pink colour!🤩)
Divide into glasses and enjoy😋
🔄Substitutions
- Instead of the almond milk, you can use your milk of choice. I've been lovin' oat milk lately.
- For the beets, I find it suuuuper handy to buy the frozen, diced beets and then just thaw them when I need them. You could also of course use fresh beets, that are cooked. I've also seen in the grocery store vacuum-packed fresh and cooked beets. Those would work too!
- Punch up the nutrition by adding some fresh ginger to the blender or boost the sweetness by adding a little pure maple syrup🍁
- Brighten it up! Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a tangy punch of lemon🍋
Top tip for making perfect smoothies
You know what gives your smoothie that lovely thickness? Frozen fruit - or more specifically - the water contained in the frozen fruit.
So if you're using fresh raspberries, be sure to use frozen beets and a frozen banana. Or if you only have fresh berries, beets and banana, then you can add a couple ice cubes and that will do the thickness trick too.
And if you're using fresh beets: make sure they're cooked!!
