Beetroot, Banana and Pineapple Smoothie – No Seriously
When I first read this recipe, I snorted aloud with laughter.
It seemed such a daft idea that I just had to try it.
Beetroot in a smoothie – such nonsense But then we love our chocolate and beetroot cake, so why not?
Breakfast Beetroot and Banana Smoothie
SERVES: 2 -4
225g can of whole beetroot in juice, drained
250ml apple juice
225g can of pineapple rings in juice
2 bananas, peeled & broken into pieces 200ml natural greek-style yoghurt ½ cup crushed ice
Method
1. Place ingredients together in a blender, I used a Themromix on speed 8 for 1 minute.
2. Pour and drink!
The kids actually weren’t too sure at all. The big boys liked it and so did I. I made some ice blocks out of the leftovers but my twins are screaming and running away when I offer them!
This is a recipe from Fruit Juice Australia. I read it when they sent me some fruit juice and recipes recently, thank FJA for the recipe and for making me laugh.

I must be very old fashioned/weird because I’m not a fan of vegetable in sweet dishes (ie: carrot cake, pumpkin pie, beetroot cake etc.). Sweet for me is limited to chocolate and fruits! But good on you for experiencing! I did a 3 day juice only cleanse last month and had to drink vegetable juices. I have to confess: they tasted actually quite nice!

How did you feel after the juice cleanse?? Did you blog about it and I missed it in the madness of Xmas??
As you can tell I love adding veggies into sweet things, it’s just desperation that got it all started but now I am hooked.

I would use fresh beet root in this especially with a thermomix. Beet root is so sweet, we quite often have beet root in our juice mixes

Hello Julie, yes you could definitely use fresh beet in the Thermomix. But I don’t always have fresh beetroot in the fridge, but ALWAYS have the tinned stuff. Fresh better though, mayne I’ll try it when the beetroot in the garden is ready to pick.
