From Julie at the Free People blog, the Berry Beet Smoothie is a retina-melting fuchsia color. The berry smoothie includes ingredients such as thinly sliced raw beet, banana, almond butter, almond milk and [frozen red berries like strawberries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-kiss-smoothie) and raspberries. You can also add [protein powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highprotein-smoothie) and top with unsweetened toasted coconut if you wish. If you really have to, you can even add a handful of kale. The result is high in vitamins and minerals not to mention antioxidants. The ground flax seed also gives you a source of good fats in the form of Omega-3s. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nutritious Blended Beverages:** Creating innovative blended beverages that are both nutritious and enjoyable. - **Health-conscious Smoothies:** Developing smoothie recipes that cater to health-conscious individuals by offering a variety of nutrient-rich ingredients. - **Innovative Smoothie Ingredients:** Exploring unconventional ingredients like beets and flax seed to elevate the nutritional value of smoothies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the growing demand for nutritious blended beverages by creating and marketing innovative smoothie products. - **Fitness and Wellness:** The fitness and wellness industry can incorporate health-conscious smoothies as a popular offering in gyms, spas, and wellness centers. - **Nutrition Supplements:** The nutrition supplements industry can explore the inclusion of smoothie ingredients like protein powder and flax seed in their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Functional Fruit Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueberry-focus-super-smoothie.md) - [Kid-Friendly Smoothie Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-berry-blast.md) - [Nutritious Post-Workout Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postworkout-smoothie.md) - [Muscle-Building Berry Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfectamino-x-gary-brecka-smoothie.md) - [Antioxidant Berry Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/very-pom-berry-smoothie.md) - [Smooth Creamy Antioxidant Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evives-blu-smoothie.md) - [Longevity-Focused Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitless-smoothie.md) - [Detox Immune Supporting Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immune-supporting-smoothies.md) - [Sour Superfood Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-time-smoothies.md)
