Strawberry Beet & Banana Protein Shake
I’ve partnered with Premier Protein to bring y’all this Strawberry Beet & Banana Protein Shake! Thank you so much for supporting the brands that keep this Blog Spinning! #TheDayIsYours #Sponsored
This Strawberry Beet & Banana Protein Shake will make getting your daily beet allowance a cinch! Check out the recipe below or read on to find out all the ways you can enjoy beets!
When it comes to food, my daughter has some quirks. For example, she loves apples and apple crumbles, but will always pass on apple pie. The same goes with her and grapes. She loves grapes in all their colors and hues – but if I tried to feed her grape jelly, I will become public enemy #1!
And, I shouldn’t complain too much. If you’ve been visiting this space of mine for a bit, you would probably know that my love for beets is strong. I love beets and have thoroughly enjoyed them in these:
• Crepes…
• Donuts…
• Banana bread…
• Crackers…
• Cakes…
• Cookies…
• Currries…
• Soups…
• Salads…
• Dips…
• Burgers…
• And even in this Pizza Base!
But – I am so not a fan of beet juice! I’ve tried adding ginger, and carrots and the like but just cannot seem to get it to where my tongue doesn’t wanna whip it outta my oral orifice!
And…thats where this shake comes into play!
I leaned on my love of the combination of beets and berries while making this shake. Now, this shake isn’t the thickest – it’s quite light – the kinda shake that you could down two glasses of and then go outside and run around in circles or mow your yard – whichever you fancy. Yes, you will taste the beets in here – but, so will you taste the frozen banana, the strawberries and Premier Protein‘s Strawberries and Cream Shake. Now, you could add more oats than the 1 tablespoon I used to make this thicker. Or, you could make ice cubes using Premier Protein‘s Strawberries and Cream Shake and use those with some of the liquid form of the shake for a thicker shake as well. Either way, whether you maybe a beet-lover or beet-hater, this is one shake am betting you will enjoy.

Love it. I love beets as well, this is a great shake and your photos are gorgeous❤️
I love the pictures in this recipe the colours are great and the lighting super.
Looks filling and delicious … I love the beautiful colour!
The colour of this is amazing – that’s what I love about beets. This would be a great way to get kids to eat more fruit too.
I love beetroot but I’ve never tried it in sweet recipes or a drink before. I’m not normally keen on smoothies, but this one looks too beautiful not to try!
Who could resist this shake when the color is so vibrant? And you’ve made it so adaptable as well with ways to make it thicker. Gorgeous.
My love for beets is so strong too! I love the idea of adding them to a shake! Why not?! Brilliant! And lol about your daughter and grape jelly. I kinda agree. There is something about the way it smells… Just not the same as the fruit itself (or wine, he he.)
I love me some beets! And you just cannot beat that gorgeous color! Loving the sound of this shake Shashi! Hope you’ve had a great week!
Ive never actually tried beets before. I do have foods that I like it one form but not another. One that came to mind first are eggs.
I love this combination! So healthy and refreshing
I really like kale in smoothies but can’t eat it any other way!
Beets are naturally sweet, so why not?! Beautiful color, thick and delicious! You are the beet queen!
I like cooked carrots, but won’t eat them raw. Love beets, cooked.
I was raised on a farm on the outskirts of Bangor Maine- I’m totally a fan of strawberries. Yes, I eat beets.
I like bananas Frozen or baked but not a huge fan of them raw!
There are many veggies I like raw but not cooked and vice versa. I am not a fan of beets
I do not like eating bananas but I enjoy a banana nut muffin once in a while. I love beets and beet greens.
I like tomatoes but don’t care for tomato juice. I don’t care much for beets.
yes am a fan of beets I read one time long ago when juicers first came out that if you drank beet juice everyday that eventually you would start to pee red so I drank it a lot so I could pee in front of my fellow workers screaming that I was peeing blood
Lol, ohh I just adore your daughter! And all her food quirks! I mean, most of us have our quirks, especially when it comes to food, right?! I’m pretty easy and will eat almost anything, but I’m picky about the WAY I eat it…. if that makes any sense. 😉 I’m with you on beets. I like them, but I’ve never really had a beet juice I cared for. Clearly I need to give this GORGEOUS shake a try! Seriously, Shashi, the color is just stunning! And I LOVE that you added strawberries and bananas here – now that is a combo I can get down with! PLUS all the protein?! I absolutely need this!! Cheers, my sweet friend! <3
P.s. I think you're on vacation? I hope you are having a wonderful time!!
I love ketchup, but I don’t like tomatoes lol. No, I’m not a fan of beets!
I dont really like beets but I like them juiced, so we try to juice them at least weekly for the health benefits.
Thank you for such an awesome giveaway! I love your protein shakes!
Haha! I didn’t think I would ever hear you express disdain for ANYTHING beet-related, Shashi. I mean whenever I see beets in the store, I always think about you. But at the same time, I totally get it. I mean beet juice just doesn’t sound that amazing. (And it makes me think of Beetlejuice.) But this shake totally sounds amazing! Great idea to use Premier Protein as a base. This one would be excellent for the hot days we’re having up here lately! 🙂
I like fresh tomatoes but not cooked/mashed/stewrd tomatoes. I havent had beets but this shake looks yummy. I am going to try it.
I love beets so very much! Would be thrilled to win this!
I’m not a fan of beets.. I can’t get past the taste.. I love carrots raw, like in salad, but mushy cooked, no.. I won’t eat cream corn… yuck!
This recipe looks healthy but delicious! I think it is really interesting when you have a combination of strawberry and fresh beets ( I never have this before). I will try your recipe at this weekend! Thanks for sharing with us 😀
It’s so funny how we all have our little quirks. I LOVE vinegar and fries (duh, right?) However, I used to like vinegar on fries ONLY with gravy and if I had fries without gravy, then no vinegar. Weird, right? I’m over that now, lol. One thing I do enjoy, like you, is beets. Love the colour of them and especially love ’em roasted. I’ve yet to have in smoothie form, but gonna have to try after seeing this beauty of a shake! So pretty!! What a beautiful way to start the day!! XO
I LOVE beets but have never tried beet juice or adding it to a smoothie…I’ve been kind of worried about it and I don’t know why! I’m coming around however and have been wanting to add it to a smoothie. This shake looks incredible and I love the added protein and that beautiful color!
this looks so yummy! I love beets!
I love beets!!
I have to eat white rice in sushi I can’t eat rice any other way. Not with chicken or tuna it has to be sushi lol
I’ve never tried beets before but the people I’ve asked that have liked it
Hmm, the only think I can think of is avocado. I love it in any form but I can’t stand it warm. There was a recipe for bacon wrapped avocado slices that you cooked in the oven and hot avocado is gross to me. I love it plain, in recipes, as guacamole, just not warmed. I do love beets though.
I actually haven’t had beets since I was a kid! I didn’t like them then, but I bet I would now. I prefer broccoli cooked as opposed to raw, and I couldn’t agree more with you on avocados! I can not stand them warm, it just doesn’t seem right to me. I remember ordering a burger with avocado once and did not like it at all.
No I don’t. I’ve never had beets before
I could definitely start the day with this shake! Excellent recipe!
Love it. I love beets as well, this is a great shake and your photos are gorgeous❤️. Thanks for sharing.
Alternative smoothie for my protein shake diet plan. I only combine the banana and the strawberry, but I will try to add beet. Good luck to me. I hope the taste will be great.
I try as your suggestions and my son loves it so much. The taste is so good and I think that I will make it frequently for my family to enjoy. Thanks for your creative and sharing.
Will try this tomorrow. Hopefully I can get this awful tasting but super healthy beetroots somehow down my throat.
