Prep

Beetroot has an earthy edge that mellows out completely once it's blended with two whole apples — the color stays bold and deep red, but the flavor turns sweet and easy to drink.
Beetroot is a favorite in smoothies built around anemia support, and the lemon juice here isn't just for taste — vitamin C is known to help the body absorb non-heme iron from plant foods, so pairing the two makes practical sense. Blend everything together, taste for sweetness, and add honey only if the apples aren't doing enough on their own.
Ingredients
- 1 medium beetroot — peeled and chopped
- 2 medium apples — cored and sliced
- 1 medium carrot — peeled and chopped (optional)
