Get Blending!
Cook up some beets for a salad or side dish and then set a few slices aside for this smoothie!
To make this bad boy, toss everything in the blender and let it do the work for you.
Adjust the liquids and even add ice if needed, it'll just depend on your ratio of frozen ingredients to fresh.
I always start with the recipe above and then just tweak as needed!
While I don't typically sweeten my smoothies, feel free to sweeten with extra fruit, juice, or agave syrup if desired. Anything goes; empty that crisper and enjoy!
