First, add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, and beet root powder to your blender or food processor. Just imagine the vibrant colors swirling together!
Start blending until it becomes smooth and creamy. You might need to pause to scrape down the sides of the blender a time or two, especially if you have a less powerful model—don’t worry; it’s worth it!
Once everything is blended to a luscious texture, pour the smoothie into a bowl. The creamy pink color will already make your mouth water.

Kitchen Tips
- Easy consistency: If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash of almond milk or water to help it blend better.
- Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, feel free to toss in a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Flavor twist: Mix in a handful of spinach for some extra nutrients without sacrificing taste!
