Hello amazing drink lovers, welcome to my blog. Hope you are full of life and kicking?
Seeing the varieties of flavorful and nutritious drinks shared here, I'm always inspired to try out new recipes. Few weeks ago, I shared the Beetroot and banana drink I made, which gathered beautiful and inputs and compliments. Some equally said that they'd to try it out. Thanks for all the support.
So today, I'd be sharing another nutritious and flavorful drink I made over the weekend, with just few ingredients - Beetroot Cucumber Smoothie!
Ingredients Used
-
1 sizeable beetroot, already washed and peeled.
-
1 sizeable cucumber, already washed.
-
217ml sweetened yoghurt.
Procedure
-
First, I peeled the skin of the cucumber to remove bitterness and waxy coatings.
-
I also removed the seeds for smooth texture.

Next was cutting it into small pieces for smooth blending.
-
Since I'd already peeled the skin of the beetroot, I proceeded to cutting it into small pieces to ensure smooth blending.
-
The next step was to pour the cucumber and beetroot into a blender and allow to blend to a considerable smooth texture.
-
I then added the yoghurt and allowed to blend until it forms a creamy mixture.
-
Finally my beetroot cucumber smoothie is ready. I served in my favorite cup.

For a visual and inviting appeal, I added drops of yoghurt just at middle of the drink, and then garnished with a slice of cucumber. How do you see it? Beautiful, right?
-
Well, I kept it in the refrigerator to cool off, but not without taking a sip first to have a feel of the taste. Yum!
And the taste was just right - the beetroot's earthy sweetness, the cucumber's mild, refreshing and slightly sweet taste, and the creamy sweetness of the yoghurt created a delicious, pleasant taste you'll enjoy.
That's not all, the drink is highly nutritious. As we know, beetroot and cucumber are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, and yogurt provides protein and probiotics, so this makes for a rich, refreshing and healthy choice.
Have you tried this blend before? I'd love to read from you.
Thank you.
