This drink is bright, earthy-sweet, and meant as a food-first beauty ritual — not a promise. Beetroot brings color and naturally occurring plant compounds, chia adds texture, and collagen peptides are optional.
Ingredients — 1 serving
- 1/2 small cooked beetroot or 1 teaspoon beetroot powder
- 3/4 cup cold water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop unflavored collagen peptides, optional
- 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice, optional
- Ice as needed
How to prepare
- Blend beetroot, liquid, berries, and ice until smooth.
- Add collagen peptides, if using, and blend briefly.
- Stir in chia seeds and let the drink stand for 5 minutes so the texture softens.
- Add more liquid if you prefer a lighter drink.
When to drink it
Use it as a morning or afternoon snack. If beetroot tastes too earthy, increase berries slightly or use almond milk for a softer flavor.
Variations
- Lower sugar: use more ice and fewer berries.
- Dairy-free: use water, coconut water, or almond milk.
- No supplement: skip collagen and add 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt if dairy suits you.
