Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons chia seeds

• 2 tablespoons water

• 1/2 cup fresh beets, peeled and chopped

• 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

• 1/2 cup orange juice

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 cup frozen strawberries

• 1/2 cup frozen or fresh pineapples

Instructions

• Soak the chia seeds in 2 tablespoons of water for about 10 minutes until they form a gel-like texture.
• Add beets, ginger, orange juice, water, strawberries, and pineapples into a blender.
• Add the soaked chia seeds and pulse briefly to mix them in evenly.
• Blend on high speed until very smooth, with no visible pieces of chia seeds, beets, or ginger remaining.
• Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Equipment

• Blender
• Glass or smoothie cup
• Knife and cutting board
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small bowl or cup
• Spatula or spoon

Notes

• The smoothie tastes and has the best texture when served right away. But the leftovers can be saved in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
• You can add pineapple chunks or strawberries to the smoothie to give it an extra elevation. Add ice cubes for an extra-refreshing drink.
• Beets come with a lot of health benefits; however, to make it more nutritious, you can add avocado, banana, hemp hearts, and flax seeds.
• Use cooked or steamed beets if you prefer a milder, sweeter flavor.
• Add more liquid (such as water or orange juice) if the smoothie feels too thick.
• Sweeten naturally with a banana or a drizzle of honey for a sweeter taste.

💪 Nutritional and Health Benefits

• Beets: Rich in nitrates, which help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. They’re also high in fiber, folate, and antioxidants.
• Chia seeds: Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. They promote heart health and help stabilize blood sugar.
• Ginger: Aids digestion, reduces inflammation, and may help with nausea.
• Orange juice: Provides vitamin C for immune support and enhances iron absorption from beets.
• Strawberries & Pineapple: Add natural sweetness and are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and manganese, supporting skin health and metabolism.

⚖️ Purpose and Ideal Use

• Excellent for managing blood pressure and improving circulation.
• Great as a morning energizer or post-workout recovery drink due to its natural sugars and hydration.
• A detox-friendly option, supporting liver and digestive health.
