For a while now I have been extra careful with what I’ve been putting in my body as well as what my kids have been eating. I’ve gotten rid of over processed foods and cut out a lot of sugar. Well, besides natural sugar that is within fruit! Instead of grabbing a candy bar or ice cream to curb my sweet tooth I know grab fruit! Especially peaches. My fave!
Let me tell you, I have definitely restored my energy! I’ll tell you how I did that soon!

Beet, strawberries, avocado, and lemon unite to create one kick-butt, surprisingly delicious, bright pink smoothie! This creamy & thick smoothie is not overly sweet – it’s more on the tart side thanks to juice from a whole lemon. If you prefer sweeter smoothies, I suggest adding an apple to the mix or your preferred liquid sweetener. I also suggest using a small to medium sized beet, anything larger and the earthy beet might overpower the other flavours. Consider gently steaming the beet until tender before blending if you don’t have a Vitamix or other capable blender. I just use the beet raw because I know my blender can handle it. Best to be safe than sorry if you are unsure!
YIELDS 4 CUPS
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water or coconut water
- 1/2 medium avocado, pitted
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- 1 cup strawberries (frozen preferred), hulled if necessary
- 1 small/medium beet, ends trimmed and roughly chopped*
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 3 tablespoons or so)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 large ice cubes
- 1 apple ( if sweeter smoothie is desired – optional), cored and roughly chopped
Directions:
- Steam beet if necessary before starting. See my tips in the headnote.
- Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth. Adjust sweetness if desired, adding an apple or liquid sweetener to taste if needed.
1) If you are not a beet fan, try adding a handful of leafy greens instead of the beet and include the optional apple. 2) Smoothies shown in pictures does not include apple. Yield may be slightly higher with an apple added in.
I didn’t really measure anything. I took large bunch of kale, several celery stalks, cucumber, fresh peeled ginger, whole apple, juice of a lemon, stevia, and about 3/4 cup of water. Place all in blender and blend on high.

Lots of great ideas here! I recently purchased a Nutribullet and it simplifies the smoothie making process for me. My go to smoothie recipe is one banana, 1/4 cup rolled oats, a handful of baby spinach, 1/2 cup blueberries, and almond milk or coconut water to the desired consistency. I love green smoothies but I typically only drink them at home because other people talk smack about them. When did green become gross? Green is good!
