This Raspberry Beet Ginger Protein Smoothie isn't just a pretty face; it’s packed with nutrients to kickstart your day or refuel after a workout. Beets? In a smoothie? Trust me, you won't even taste them! They add an earthy sweetness and a crazy amount of vitamins. Raspberries bring the tangy brightness, and ginger adds a spicy kick that wakes up your taste buds. The protein powder helps keep you full and satisfied, so you’re not reaching for a snack an hour later. I was a bit hesitant the first time I tried adding beets, but my friend Jenny pushed me into it. Said it was her secret weapon for hiking those crazy mountains she climbs.
I know, I know… another smoothie recipe. But seriously, this one is different. It’s got that je ne sais quoi that makes you feel amazing from the inside out. Plus, it's super easy to whip up, even on those mornings when you're running late. It is also easy to play around with this recipe. I like experimenting with different proportions to achieve desired sweetness or spiciness, depending on my mood. What does this mean for you? It is an enjoyable way to start your day, packed with nutrients and flavor!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, give the beet a good wash and peel. Chop it into smaller pieces—about 1-inch cubes will do—so your blender doesn't have to work too hard.
- Grab your raspberries (fresh or frozen, dealer's choice!) and toss 'em into the blender with the beet.
- Now for the ginger. Peel a small knob, maybe about an inch long, and give it a rough chop. Add it to the mix. If you're not a big ginger fan, start with half an inch and taste as you go. I kinda like the zing myself.
- Pour in your milk of choice. Almond, oat, soy—whatever floats your boat. Just make sure it's unsweetened. Add about a cup to start.
- Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Vanilla or unflavored usually works best here so it doesn't clash with the other flavors, or you can go crazy and experiment with other flavors!
- Got some chia seeds or flaxseed meal lying around? Toss in a tablespoon for extra fiber and omega-3s. Why not, right?
- Blend it all up! Start on low and gradually increase the speed until everything is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk. Too thin? Toss in a few more raspberries or a chunk of beet.
- Give it a taste. Too tart? A little honey or maple syrup will do the trick. Not enough ginger? Add a bit more. Now’s your chance to customize!
- Pour into your favorite glass and drink it up. Feel that energy boost!
📝 Notes
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a little more honey or maple syrup.
- If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can use a pinch of ground ginger, but fresh is always better.
- Feel free to add other fruits like banana or berries for different flavor variations.
