1 small to medium raw beetroot, peeled and chopped

1/4 cup water
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 to 5 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Place chia seeds in a small bowl with water and let soak for about 10 minutes until gel-like.

Notes
Use cooked beetroot for a milder flavor and smoother texture.
Swap Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt to make it dairy-free.
Add banana or dates for natural sweetness.
Try oat milk or regular milk instead of almond milk for variation.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
