Beets help improve blood flow, tofu brings in solid plant protein, and ginger supports digestion. This smoothie supports stamina, gut health and recovery. It’s ideal post workout too.
Let’s Talk About Ingredients
Beetroot
Beet is known to boost stamina and improve blood flow. Use it raw and grated for maximum benefit. If you want a milder taste, you can steam it slightly. Can be replaced with carrot or red apple for a sweeter version.
Tofu
Tofu is the star protein source here. Use soft or silken tofu for smooth texture. It blends well and adds a creamy thickness. Can be replaced with paneer or Greek yogurt if not vegan.
Banana
Frozen banana gives sweetness and texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sugar. You can swap with mango or chikoo for variation.
Ginger
A small piece of ginger gives that fresh zing and also helps with digestion. Can skip if you don’t prefer spicy flavour.
Soy Milk
Soy milk adds extra protein and blends well. Almond milk or coconut milk can be used as alternatives.
