3 Easy Steps to Make Beet Carrot Spinach Smoothie

By Mary | Pur & Simple Recipes

Some mornings call for pancakes. Others demand coffee. But when you want to feel refreshed, fueled, and just a little bit fancy? That’s when you reach for a beet carrot spinach smoothie.

This isn’t your typical sugary smoothie that tastes like a melted popsicle. It’s earthy, vibrant, and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of blend that wakes you up—not with a jolt, but with intention.

Here’s how to make it part of your weekly routine in just three easy steps.

Step 1: Know What You’re Getting (and Why It’s Worth It)

Before you toss ingredients into a blender, take a moment to understand what makes this trio—beets, carrots, and spinach—so powerful together.

Beets bring a rich, sweet earthiness that anchors the flavor. Carrots add subtle sweetness and a smooth texture, while spinach balances everything out with its clean, green finish. The result? A spinach and beetroot smoothie that doesn’t taste like a garden but feels like one—fresh, grounded, and full of life.

Each ingredient does more than taste good. They offer a serious nutrient profile:

• Beets are known to support circulation and detox, thanks to nitrates and antioxidants.
• Carrots are packed with beta-carotene and fiber—great for your skin and gut.
• Spinach? A leafy powerhouse of iron, folate, and magnesium.

It’s like a multivitamin in a glass—but better tasting and more filling.

Step 2: Blend It the Right Way

Making a smoothie isn’t rocket science, but there’s a little art to it—especially when you’re working with vegetables like beets and carrots that have more structure.

The key is layering.

Start with liquid first (think water, coconut water, or your favorite plant-based milk). Then go in with the softest ingredients—like spinach or banana if you’re using one. Beets and carrots can be raw or pre-steamed depending on your blender strength, but if you’re new to veggie smoothies, lightly steam and chill them first. It’ll make for a smoother sip.

The right blend isn’t just about taste—it’s about texture. A beet spinach smoothie should be silky, not gritty. A little patience with your blending pays off in every pour.

And don’t forget your extras: a touch of citrus for brightness, a pinch of ginger for warmth, or a scoop of protein powder to turn your smoothie into a full-on meal.

Step 3: Make It a Habit (Without Getting Bored)

One of the best things about a carrot smoothie like this one is how versatile it is. You can change the vibe completely just by tweaking one or two ingredients.

Feeling tropical? Add pineapple and coconut water.
Craving something creamy? Try almond butter and oat milk.
Want to turn up the detox factor? Add cucumber, parsley, or a squeeze of lemon.
Need it post-workout? A scoop of plain Greek yogurt or protein powder will do the trick.

Treat the beet carrot spinach smoothie like a base, not a boundary.

I like to prep freezer smoothie bags with chopped veggies and fruit so I can just dump and blend—just like I do when baking ahead with Cottage Cheese Banana Bread for the week. It saves time, reduces waste, and keeps my mornings smooth (pun intended).

Why It’s More Than a Health Drink

Let’s get one thing straight—this isn’t just a “healthy smoothie.” It’s satisfying. It has flavor and body. It makes you feel good without feeling like you’re settling for less.

And it’s not only for weight loss or detoxing. It’s for energy, for clear-headedness—just like the protein-packed Cottage Cheese Bowl Breakfast I love to rotate into my mornings

In a world where green smoothies can feel like punishment, this one feels like a treat.

Smoothie Myths That Need to Go

There’s a lot of confusion around smoothies, so let’s clear a few things up:

• You don’t need fruit to make it taste good. Beets and carrots are naturally sweet. A little orange or apple can enhance, but isn’t essential.
• You don’t have to drink it first thing in the morning. This smoothie makes a great afternoon pick-me-up.
• It doesn’t have to be cold. You can make a room temperature version with roasted or steamed ingredients, especially in winter—then cozy up with something chocolatey like Mint Chocolate Brownies after.

A smoothie should fit your lifestyle, not the other way around.

When to Drink It

There’s no wrong time to enjoy a beet carrot spinach smoothie, but here are some of my personal favorites:

• Post-workout for a nutrient boost and natural sugars
• Late morning when coffee’s worn off but lunch feels far away
• Mid-afternoon for a brain boost during the slump
• Light dinner when you want to end the day on a clean, nourishing note

You can even pour it into a jar and take it on the go—no straw, no mess, just shake and sip.
