It’s as easy as A, B, C
We call this the A, B, C smoothie. Why? because of the ingredients, apple, beet, and carrot. Plus, it’s as easy as A, B, C to prepare. Beet gives it an earthy, rich, naturally sweet flavor.
Ingredients
This smoothie is prepared with pure fruit no filler.
- 1 medium beet (about 10 ozs.)
- 1 medium carrot (about 2.5 ozs.)
- 1 medium red or green apple (about 8 ozs.)
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 cup water
How to Make
- Wash the apple, beet, and carrot well.
- Peel the beet and carrot. Peel the apple if you prefer.
- Chop the apple, beet, and carrot into smallish pieces which ensures a smooth texture when you blend.
- Place all of the ingredients into your blender and blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add ¼ cup water if your smoothie is too thick.
- If you like your smoothie chilled, blend with 4 ice cubes.
The Finished Drink
Serve immediately and enjoy. Think of it as a super tasty nutrition bomb packed with nutrients and fiber. Although, we drink it because it tastes good. If you have kids who don’t like to eat fruits and vegetables this a great way to sneak some into their diet.
Smoothie Into Juice
Sometimes you are just not in the mood for a smoothie you would prefer juice. So, to turn your smoothie into juice just blend with 2 cups of water then strain through a fine strainer. With the back of a spoon press on the pulp in the strainer to squeeze out all of the flavor and nutrients.

I call this an “anti-aging” smoothie because it’s so full of antioxidants! Also, I’ve grated the ingredients before making the smoothie and it makes the texture a lot better. Love the recipe!

Exactly what I was looking for – a simple beet smoothie with what I had on hand! Thank you for posting this. It is absolutely delicious! I did add more honey because I have a sweet tooth :)

Loved the combination. An inch of ginger really kicked up the flavour. I found no need for honey
