Healthy Berry Smoothie Recipe

Love smoothies but want a healthy berry smoothie that is filling? This healthy berry smoothie is easy to make, tastes amazing, and very good for you.

My kids love smoothies but I swear within an hour of drinking a smoothie, they are starving again. It doesn’t matter what kind of fruit and yogurt I put in it, there are starving. That is when I started adding some extra ingredients.

Healthy Berry Smoothie

This healthy berry smoothie is filled with fruit but it also has some hidden vegetables, roasted beets. In addition to the fruits and vegetables, my version is dairy free. This recipe uses almond milk or use The Best Oat Milk Recipe, which is more filling and longer lasting than regular milk, at least for us. It also has chia seeds for a higher nutrition count. All in all, you are getting a vitamin and nutrient-packed healthy berry smoothie.

Refreshing Berry Smoothies

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour (if roasting beets)
Serves: 4

Note: Raw or roasted beets can be used in this recipe. However, roasted beets will yield a smoother texture. To save time on busy mornings, wash and wrap the beets in aluminum foil and toss into a hot oven for approximately 1 hour while making dinner throughout the week. Store roasted beets in the refrigerator for several days until ready to use.
