Good Morning from Bahrain ! This is my new favorite energy booster smoothie recipe, a red smoothie with raw beetroot ! And this healthy smoothie is really brilliant. It is pure energy in a glass.

There’s truly nothing better than kick-starting your day with a burst of nutrients. Especially, if this smoothie tastes as good as it feels. Packed with powerful plant-based ingredients that naturally boost stamina and improve circulation, it’s the perfect way to fuel your body and mind. Whenever I drink it before a workout, the difference is incredible — more endurance, better focus, and a sustained energy that lasts for hours.

Why you’ll adore the recipe

This smoothie is as simple as it gets. Just peel, blend and sip. Because yes, I am using raw beetroot so nothing to cook here !
It’s a game-changer for your energy levels.
You won’t believe how much you’ll love beetroot for breakfast !

Ingredients

Only 7 ingredients are included in the recipe but they are powerful.

Beetroot : A natural endurance enhancer packed with nitrates that help improve blood flow and oxygen delivery, giving you more stamina and better workout performance.
Banana : The perfect natural energy booster! Bananas are rich in complex carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium.
Blueberries : Tiny but mighty, they’re rich in polyphenols that protect your cells and support brain and metabolic health — plus, they add natural sweetness and a delicious flavor.
Cucumber : Ultra-hydrating and refreshing, cucumber helps flush out toxins while keeping your cells nourished — perfect for morning vitality.
Spinach : A powerhouse of iron, magnesium, and plant protein that supports energy production and hormone balance, especially important for women’s health.
Acai powder : Loaded with antioxidants, açai helps fight oxidative stress and supports cellular energy, giving you that vibrant glow from the inside out.
Hemp seeds : A complete source of plant protein with all essential amino acids, hemp seeds help repair and build muscle while supporting steady energy release.

And the best part? You get all of this goodness in one glass for breakfast — that’s the magic of a smoothie. These six whole-food ingredients work together in perfect synergy to energize your body, deeply nourish your cells, and deliver long-lasting energy without the crash.

How to ?

Nothing could be easier — just blend all the ingredients together in a high-speed blender for a few minutes and your smoothie is ready. Bursting with antioxidants, it’s a true immunity booster and also makes a fantastic pre-workout or post-workout recovery drink.

By combining vibrant vegetables (beetroot, cucumber, spinach), juicy fruits (banana, blueberries), and nutrient-dense superfoods (açai powder and hemp seeds), you get a smoothie that’s as powerful as it is delicious. And thanks to the beetroot, it turns into a beautiful deep-red drink that instantly signals its energy-boosting power.

No hemp or acai, no problem !

The smoothie will still be nutrient-rich, energizing, and delicious even without them.

These two ingredients add an extra boost of plant protein and antioxidants, but they’re optional — so don’t skip making the recipe if you don’t have them on hand.
