DETOX SMOOTHIE RECIPE WITH BEETS AND COCONUT OIL

This beet detox smoothie recipe doubles the detoxifying effect from the fresh or cooked beetroot as well as the cold-pressed coconut oil.

Your body will be thanking you for it!

This would also be a great remedy after a late night or a hangover as well.

According to our recipe testers, it’s one of the best tasting detox smoothies that contains beet that they’ve ever tried!

All the refreshing fruits mask the beet flavor well, so this is great for even the beet haters out there.

The coconut oil makes this detox smoothie extra satiating with healthy fats, so it’s the perfect flavorful treat to help your body get rid of toxins.

Use a high speed blender, like a Blendtec or Vitamix for the best consistency.

Please Note: This recipe post was recently updated to include a how to video! In the video we used more beet which greatly affects the color of this smoothie. If you are new to beets or don’t love the flavor try with a small cooked beet or use half a raw one.

COCONUT OIL HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS

Coconut oil is used extensively in tropical countries especially India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Philippines etc., which have a good production of coconut oil.

At one time, the oil was also popular in the west but a strong propaganda campaign in the 1970s spread by the corn oil and soy oil industry against coconut oil left it being considered harmful for the human body due to its high saturated fat content.

Blendtec Promo Code

Studies in the last decade show it to be very beneficial:

1. Coconut oil can increase your energy expenditure, helping you burn more fat; also serves as an appetite suppressant.
2. The lauric acid in coconut oil can kill bacteria, viruses and fungi, helping to stave off infections.
3. Coconut oil can improve blood cholesterol levels may lower your risk for heart disease.
4. Coconut oil can protect hair against damage, moisturize skin and function as sunscreen.
5. The fatty acids in coconut oil can boost brain function in Alzheimer’s patients.

  1. I am deathly allergic to tree nuts! What would you recommend substituting for almond milk w/same health benefits?

    1. Blender Babes

      Hey Kari! We feel your pain! You can substitute nut milks with seed milks, our favorite is hemp milk! Tons of protein! Or you can try an organic soy milk. 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING

    Awesome smoothie. Had some beets already cooked so tried this recipe. Drinking this now, added some ground flaxseed as well. Thanks.

  3. Elizabeth Lamontagne

    I actually used about a pound of beets last night in a recipe for work lunches for the week. I made The Paleo Approach Cookbook “Beef Heart Borscht” using grass fed beef heart and beautiful red beets!
