Here are a few  variations of the smoothie recipe:

1. Green Power Smoothie: Replace the chamomile tea with coconut water or almond milk for a lighter taste. Add a handful of spinach or kale to boost the green goodness and pack in more nutrients.
2. Tropical Twist: Swap the strawberries for mango or pineapple chunks to give the smoothie a tropical flavor. Add a squeeze of lime juice for extra zing.
3. Creamy Nutty Blend: Instead of pumpkin seed butter, use almond butter or cashew butter for a creamy and nutty flavor. Top with crushed almonds or cashews for added crunch.
4. Berry Blast: Mix and match berries like blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a vibrant and antioxidant-rich smoothie. Add a teaspoon of chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
5. Vanilla Delight: Add a splash of vanilla extract or vanilla protein powder to enhance the flavor. This variation pairs well with almond milk or oat milk.
6. Banana Boost: Include a ripe banana in the mix for a creamy and naturally sweet smoothie. Banana adds potassium and additional creaminess.
7. Protein-Packed: Incorporate a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to make the smoothie more filling and suitable for a post-workout treat.
8. Refreshing Mint: Add a few fresh mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing and uplifting taste. Mint complements the earthy flavors of beet greens and adds a pleasant aroma.
9. Superfood Boost: Sprinkle a tablespoon of chia seeds, flax seeds, or maca powder to boost the smoothie’s nutritional profile and energy levels.
10. Ginger Zing: Grate a small piece of fresh ginger into the smoothie to add a spicy and invigorating twist to the mix.
11. Creamy Coconut Dream: Use coconut milk instead of chamomile tea for a rich and tropical flavor. Add a tablespoon of shredded coconut to enhance the coconut taste.
12. Citrus Burst: Replace the strawberries with a mix of citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines. The citrusy tang will add a refreshing twist.
13. Chocolate Indulgence: Mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder or cacao nibs for a chocolatey delight. Add a dash of cinnamon for extra warmth.
14. Berry Green Fusion: Combine beet greens with a mix of different berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a vibrant and antioxidant-packed smoothie.
15. Peanut Butter Power: Swap pumpkin seed butter with peanut butter for a classic and nutty flavor. Top with crushed peanuts for added texture.
16. Green Detox: Add a handful of fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon to the mix for a cleansing and invigorating drink.
