Step by step process

Preparing the ingredients

1
Peel the red beetroot and cut it into smaller pieces (about 1-2 cm) so it blends easily. If using pre-cooked beetroot, cut it into smaller chunks.
TIP:
Place the beet on a flat, stable surface. Before slicing, hold it firmly on the cutting board and slice with a sharp knife in a smooth motion. To ensure a stable cut, trim the bottom end so it sits flat.
2
Wash the apples, remove the cores, and cut into pieces. You don't have to peel them, as the skin adds fiber.
TIP:
To prevent browning after cutting, brush the cut surfaces of the apples with lemon juice, or briefly dip them in water with citric acid. Citric acid helps keep them looking fresh.
3
Peel the carrots and cut into smaller batons or rounds. If the carrots are thicker, cut them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
4
Peel the ginger and grate finely or chop into very small pieces. Add a stronger piece of ginger gradually and to taste.

Blending the smoothie

5
Place the chopped beetroot, apples, carrots, and grated ginger into the blender. Add lemon juice and 200-300 ml water (adjust the amount according to desired consistency).
6
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until completely smooth. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend again.
TIP:
Whisk the eggs, then gradually add the yogurt and oil while whisking thoroughly. If the ingredients don't combine smoothly, slow down the addition or gently warm the eggs.
7
If necessary, add more water for a thinner consistency or a few ice cubes to chill. Alternatively, strain the smoothie through a fine sieve for an extra-smooth texture.

Serving

8
Divide the smoothie into 4 glasses and serve immediately. If the smoothie is too thick, top it up with a little water when serving.
9
Garnish as desired with an apple slice, a lemon wheel, or a sprig of fresh mint.
