My pet project of updating smoothie recipes continues with this gorgeous mulberry mango beet smoothie. I promise it tastes just as glorious as it looks!
Smoothies are a great way to up your daily fruit and vegetable intake. My family isn't much for beets, but since mangoes and mulberries here completely camouflage the earthy beetroot taste, they'll happily lap it all up.
Beetroot is wonderful for fighting inflammation, for detoxification and is full of beneficial nutrients and fiber. While it is high in sugar and should be consumed in moderation, it is a vegetable that's highly recommended by nutritionists.
Mulberries are the fruits of my childhood! They always evoke so much nostalgia of the days when one of our friends would climb up the mulberry trees and shake the branches while the rest of us stood underneath to catch them all.
These juicy little berries are a delight to eat as is as well as for making jams ( like this mulberry chia jam ), chutneys, sherbets, wines, and a plethora of baked goodies.
Not only are they delicious, but they are also rich in vitamins A & C, calcium, iron, and fiber. Mulberries are great for our digestive health, bones, and immunity - building and regulating blood pressure. Since these berries have a short season as well as a shorter shelf life, make the most of them while they are around.
NOTES:
- Using frozen fruits and vegetables makes your smoothies very creamy.
- Add some cashews here to make it creamier and a bit bulkier. If you have reservations about using them, add any nut of your choice or leave them out altogether.
- The liquid component here is fresh coconut water, but some yogurt would work just as well.
- While I chose not to sweeten the smoothie, you can certainly include any of your choice.
- I highly recommend consuming the smoothies as soon as they are made. I find the taste gets a little off after a few hours.
Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others. That’s why I’m always eager to hear from you. So go right ahead & drop a comment or reach out on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, or Facebook. I hope you love this mulberry mango beet smoothie as much as we do!
