Rose Beet Smoothie is healthy, herbal, high fiber, creamy & satisfying! Adapt the few ingredients slightly to fit your diet for Paleo, GAPS, AIP and Vegan.

For those who can’t have fruit or those who want more veggies in a glass, here’s a slushy creamy smoothie that’s a health food treat.

Having recently written about the dangers of most green smoothies, one additional point to make is why are greens the main vegetables that gain admittance into smoothies? You have perhaps already found my fruit-free carrot smoothie?  Yay: non-green veggie smoothie #1! And here’s non-green, fruit-free veggie smoothie #2!

Beet nutrition

Beets are full of fiber, great for the bowels. Beets are also super great for heart health, as well as being high in B-complex vitamins and minerals. 

Beets are low in calories, most of which come from carbohydrates, providing a gentle yield of energy.  The fact that they are cooked in this recipe makes them easy on one’s digestion.

Rose petal nutrition – why are they healthy?

Rose bud blossoms are enjoyed globally and medicinally — ranking high for their antioxidant levels. 

Rose petals help to heal and stimulate the digestive tract. They can improve symptoms of constipation, insomnia and depression. Emotionally, rose is known to be soothing. 

For women’s health, rose has a reputation for balancing hormones and hormone-related symptoms. And a very small amount of caffeine is found in rose petals which gently stimulates the central nervous system.

Find wonderful Rosebud-Hibiscus Tea here! Dried rose buds are so nutritious, calming and healing, made into tea.

What’s the flavor of Rose Beet Smoothie?

The flavor of this smoothie? Delicious and exciting! If you’re up for an adventure, are open-minded about juice flavors and what constitutes a good smoothie, I think you’ll love this unique combination.

With cultured dairy or non-dairy added, this treat also provides probiotics!

Rose Petal-Beet Smoothie

Have you ever cooked beets before? Just wash them, boil them whole until they are fork-tender through to the center, about 45 minutes; then peel them under cool running water by rubbing their skins off. Cube them now into 1" chunks. Spread them out on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze them. After about 2 hours they'll be frozen hard and ready for use in this recipe! (You will need two large or 3 medium size beets to yield 2 cups cooked, cubed beets for this recipe.)

      Hi Anna, the quantity is based on dried petals. The ones I buy are petite whole buds. The main objective is that the tea is very concentrated, a strong brew. If your petals don’t have a strong scent, I would try brewing up what the recipe recommends, 1/4 cup to 1 1/2 cups water, and see how strong the flavor is. If it’s a weak tea, you could double the amount or experiment to see how many of your petals it would take. The idea is for the flavors to be balanced and to really taste the rose and the beets evenly, with a bit of honey flavor too. So glad you’re sharing; thanks!! 🙂

      Thanks, Emilie, really fun flavor. 🙂 I often try to picture it as a fruit, its own exotic bright pink tropical fruit, when I’m tasting it.
