½cupHomemade Coconut Milk(or Any Milk of your Choice)
½Banana
½teaspoonGround Cinnamon
1teaspoonCamu Camu Powder(optional)
1Squeeze of Lemon
Instructions
First, peel and chop a medium-sized beet or two small. I find chopping them into 1-inch cubes works best for blending.
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds. If it jams, use a tamper or spatula to press it down and break up any chunks. You can also add an extra splash of milk to help it along.
Once the ingredients have blended into a smooth consistency, pour into serving bowls. Top with granola, hemp hearts, shredded coconut, cacao nibs or your favourite nuts and seeds.
Notes
Raw beetroot is the trick to delicious beet smoothies and smoothie bowls. Avoid using cooked or canned beets, as they will overpower the flavour and can throw off the texture.Make it slurpable. You can easily turn this smoothie bowl into a slurpable smoothie by adding more milk. Slowly add more until it reaches your desired consistency. I find no more than one extra cup does the trick without compromising the flavour.Serve as a topping. This scrumptious smoothie bowl can double as a fruit topping! I love serving it with brunch to use as a crêpe filling or smothering over pancakes and waffles.Add extra nutrients. Make your Beetroot Smoothie Bowl even more nutritious by adding your favourite superfood powder. This recipe does call for camu powder. However, there are plenty of other nutrient-dense powders you can swap it out for.
