A creamy berry, beetroot and Greek yoghurt smoothie with Naked Bone Broth Powder, ground flaxseed and coconut water.

Bright berries, creamy Greek yoghurt and earthy beetroot come together in this colourful breakfast smoothie. A small amount of Naked Bone Broth Powder adds savoury depth and naturally occurring protein, while coconut water keeps the blend light enough to drink.

The trick is to dissolve the powders in a little hot water first, then let the mixture cool before it meets the yoghurt and frozen fruit. This prevents clumps and protects the thick, cold texture that makes a berry smoothie so refreshing.

 

Ingredients

·       1 teaspoon VegEase Beetroot Powder

·       1 teaspoon Broth & Co Naked Bone Broth Powder

·       2 tablespoons hot water

·       1/2 cup (75 g) mixed berries, fresh or frozen

·       1/2 cup (75 g) strawberries, hulled, fresh or frozen

·       2/3 cup (165 g) plain Greek yoghurt

·       1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

·       1 teaspoon raw honey, optional

·       1 teaspoon melted coconut oil, optional

·       1/2 cup (125 ml) chilled coconut water

·       4–6 ice cubes, optional

Method

·       Place the VegEase Beetroot Powder and Naked Bone Broth Powder in a small heatproof cup.

·       Add the hot water and stir until smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until cool enough to add to the blender.

·       Place the mixed berries, strawberries, Greek yoghurt, ground flaxseed, honey and coconut oil in a blender.

·       Add the cooled powder mixture and coconut water.

·       Blend for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth. Add ice and blend again if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.

·       Pour into one large glass or divide between two smaller glasses and serve immediately.

 

Why These Ingredients Work Together

 

Make It Suit Your Morning

·       For a thicker smoothie bowl, reduce the coconut water to 1/4 cup and top with fruit, seeds or toasted oats.

·       For a more substantial breakfast, add 1/4 cup rolled oats before blending or serve the smoothie alongside eggs or wholegrain toast.

·       For less sweetness, omit the honey and rely on ripe strawberries.

·       For extra tartness, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

·       For a thinner drink, add coconut water 1 tablespoon at a time until the texture is right.

·       If using only fresh fruit, include the ice cubes to keep the smoothie cold.

A Note About the Protein

Bone broth powder contributes protein, but it has a different amino-acid profile from Greek yoghurt and other complete protein foods. In this recipe, the two ingredients have complementary roles: yoghurt provides most of the complete protein, while bone broth powder adds its characteristic collagen-associated amino acids and flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I taste the bone broth?

At one teaspoon, the powder should sit quietly behind the berries, beetroot and yoghurt. If you are new to savoury ingredients in smoothies, begin with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust next time.

Can I make it ahead?

The smoothie is best freshly blended. You can measure the dry ingredients and prepare the fruit the night before, then blend in the morning.

Can I use another yoghurt?

Yes. A thick natural yoghurt works well. Plant-based yoghurt can also be used, although protein content varies considerably between products.

Can I leave out the coconut oil?

Yes. It is optional and the smoothie blends well without it.

Can children have this smoothie?

The recipe can be divided into smaller portions according to age and appetite. Do not give honey to infants under 12 months, and consider the child’s usual diet and any allergies.

Final Note

This is a playful way to move bone broth beyond soups and savoury drinks. The berries remain the star, while beetroot, yoghurt, flaxseed and broth make the smoothie more layered, creamy and satisfying.
