This raspberry beet smoothie is made on the spot and it's sweetened only by fruits you use to make it. You'll want to plan ahead by freezing very ripe bananas and raspberries. Very ripe bananas are the sweetest bananas, but you can also add a drizzle or so of honey or maple syrup while blending if you like it a bit sweeter.
The bananas need to freeze overnight but the raspberries take just a few hours to freeze enough. If you don't have frozen ingredients, you can add some crushed ice to the mix and use a bit less milk.
Raspberry Beet Smoothie {quick & easy}
This is nut-free when you use coconut milk, but you can use almond milk or cashew milk or another milk you prefer. You can also add yogurt or cream in place of milk for a thicker smoothie.To grate the beet, you can do it by hand with a vegetable peeler (and have really red hands at the end), or do what I do: I use my food processor with the shredding attachment and then add the remaining ingredients to finish make smoothie.

Hello,
I'm allergic to bananas and cinnamon. What can I use in place of these items? Would sweet potatoes work?
Sincerely,

I don't know, sorry.

This is so pretty! Can you taste the beet in it? I'm not a big fan so that's always a concern for me when a recipe includes beets. Thank you!
Erica says
All I taste is the raspberries and the combination of whipped cream and raspberries is the strongest flavoring.
