Recipe FAQs

→ Can I use raw beetroot instead of cooked?

Raw beetroot works but may have a stronger earthy flavor. For best results, peel, chop, and lightly steam or roast the beetroot before blending to soften its taste and ensure smooth consistency.

→ How long does this bowl keep in the fridge?

The smoothie base can be stored in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, though it's best enjoyed immediately. Add toppings just before serving to maintain their crunch and texture.

→ What other fruits work well as toppings?

Seasonal fruits like sliced mango, peaches, pomegranate seeds, or fresh figs make excellent additions. Choose whatever looks fresh and vibrant at your local market.

→ Can I make this protein-rich?

Absolutely. Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder to the blender, or use Greek yogurt instead of plant-based yogurt for extra protein naturally.

→ Is this suitable for meal prep?

You can batch blend the base and portion it into jars for up to 2 days. Keep toppings separate and add them just before eating to preserve their fresh texture and crunch.
