A big glass of delicious fruits and vegetables in the morning or late afternoon just feels GOOD.
This smoothie packs quite a lot in since it’s made of ALL plants and tastes surprisingly refreshing. I highly recommend you give this combination a try no matter whether you’re a green smoothie person or you’ve always felt a little nervous about them.

Pomegranate, Beet, and Hidden Greens Smoothie. Makes one.
1 beet (approximately 3 oz.)
1/2 apple, I recommend granny smith for the tart flavor (approximately 2.5 oz.)
1 big handful of spinach (approximately 1 oz.)
4 big mint leaves
1/2 cup 100% pomegranate juice
Peel and then wash the beet, removing any dirt or leaves. Cut into 4-5 pieces.
In a good blender (I love my Vitamix!), combine the beet, apple (seeds and stem removed), spinach, mint, and pomegranate juice. Blend really, really well.
You don’t want any leaves or large pieces of beet or apple left. A smooth consistency throughout is what you are aiming for.
Enjoy immediately. Super simple, right? Just a few notes here, and then go get your smoothie on!

YUM, I should definitely try this one out! Sounds too delicious 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
LOVE beets in a smoothie! So much extra fiber and nutrition gets added!
This looks so good! I never thought beets would mix well in a smoothie, but I tried one at a local smoothie shop just last week and it tasted amazing. I’ll have to try this one as well – they’re so good for you and I really love the addition of mint to this recipe!
Reading this while eating a delicious chocolate cake! hahaha I should feel guilty but…nope! I love smoothies though!
You’re right, it does feel SO good! I love starting out my weekday mornings with a tropical green smoothie – definitely gives me a healthy kickstart to the week. I love the idea of adding beets! I have two in my fridge right now and just might have to give those a go tomorrow morning 🙂
I’m not the biggest fan of beet so I’m not sure if I’d like this but it does seem really healthy and it looks cool!
Yummm, I already make a Variation of this one, but mint is a really good idea (even if not so easy to come accross in the dead of winter) 😉
Just a question, when’s your cookbook coming out? We’re looking for our next Investment 😉
This sounds delicious! x

Love this post – I tried it today except that I didn’t have mint handy. I added a bit more apples and it tasted amazing.

You’re gonna love it! It seriously the best blender I’ve ever had. Do check out the instruction manual and the recipe book it comes with as those were both super helpful and full of good stuff. 🙂

Oh my gosh. I just got a Vitamix for Christmas and I am looking for more smoothie recipes. I am super excited for this one!! Yea for BEETS!
You can taste the beet but it’s pretty mild. It’s a fairly “balanced” tasting smoothie so you can taste the beet, the mint, and sweetness from both the apple and pom juice. You don’t really taste the spinach, or at least I didn’t think so.
Agree on getting in those veggies at breakfast, makes me feel like I’m already so ahead for the day nutritionally. 🙂

This looks really interesting! Can you really taste the beets? I’m not a big fan of those, but I would probably give this a try and see how I like it. I like smoothies with vegetables because it’s a great way to get my veggies in with breakfast 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I loveeee pomegrante juice – would love it try blending it with beets and greens!
