Want a delicious smoothie that’s easy and good for you? This Blueberry Beet Smoothie is a great way to pack in tons of nutrition without any fuss. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s bursting with flavor and loaded with nutritional benefits—perfect for a healthy breakfast or energizing snack!
I’m a beet lover—I enjoy them in salads and even fried up as a side dish, but they’re also the perfect way to add earthy flavor and nutritional value to our morning smoothie. Beets are packed with immune-boosting vitamin C, and they may help lower blood pressure and support better heart health. We eat them every chance we get!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Blueberries: I use frozen blueberries because I always have them on hand, but fresh blueberries are also a good choice—especially when they’re in season.
- Beets: Canned red beets are perfect for this smoothie since they’re already cooked and ready to use. If you’re using raw beets, you’ll need to cook them first to soften the texture and mellow the flavor.
- Yogurt: I go with Greek yogurt that’s low in sugar to keep things healthy. If you’re dairy-free, there are plenty of alternatives that work just as well.
- Honey: This adds natural sweetness to the smoothie, but maple syrup is a great natural alternative if you prefer a plant-based option or simply love that flavor.
- Milk: I use whole milk, but you can easily swap in a non-dairy alternative— cashew, soy, oat, or almond milk are all great options depending on your taste or dietary needs.
- Ice: We like our smoothies cold with a creamy texture, so I add ice to get it just right. Feel free to adjust the amount based on how thick or frosty you like it.
