Berry Beet Smoothie

I have sung the humble beetroot’s praises for it’s ability to increase athletic performance in previous posts, so what better vegetable to use in a post-run smoothie! Mix it with some ingredients rich in protein such as hemp powder and chia seeds, and you have an excellent powerhouse smoothie.

• 1 Cooked Beetroot (vacuum packed beetroot is quick and easy, make sure it is not in vinegar)
• 100g Mixed Frozen Berries
• ½ Banana
• 2 scoops/ 30g  Hemp Protein Powder (I use Good Hemp Nutrition as it is not bitter AND the hemp is grown in my home county of Devon)
• 1 tsp Chia seeds
• 1 tsp Wheatgrass Powder
• 1 tsp Bee Pollen
• 350ml Water or choice of plant milk

Garnish suggestions

• Bee pollen
• Flaked Almonds
• Dessicated/ Flaked Coconut

1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Garnish with whatever toppings you fancy.
