Equipment Needed

NutriBullet Smoothie Making Tools
NutriBullet Smoothie Making Tools

A standard blender is all that is required to make these NutriBullet smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend the higher-end full-sized NutriBullet Smart Touch that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.


How To Make The Very Merry Valentine Smoothie

The Nutribullet Very Merry Valentine smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place beets, mixed berries, coconut water, orange juice, and Greek yogurt into a blender and secure the lid.
  • Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
  • Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  • Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.

Coconut milk or soy milk (with a little extra ice) can be substituted for the Greek yogurt to make this delicious smoothie dairy-free.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Are Nutribullet blenders easy to use?

Nutribullet blenders are designed for ease of use. With a compact design and simple mechanism, users typically just need to fill the blending cup with ingredients, twist on the blade attachment, and press or twist the cup onto the base to blend. Cleaning is also straightforward, as many parts are dishwasher safe.

Why are beets so good for you?

Beets are highly nutritious and offer numerous health benefits. They are rich in essential nutrients, including folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Beets are particularly known for their high content of nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide. This compound helps to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure, benefiting cardiovascular health. The pigments that give beets their vibrant color, known as betalains, have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds can help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation-related chronic diseases. Additionally, beets are high in fiber, which supports digestive health and can aid in weight management.
