Berry Beet Smoothie

I fell in love with beets in London. Beets are really a cold season veggie (which explains WHY they were everywhere in cold, cold London-town). But, beets are also rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, and betaine, plus they compliment fruits in the berry family.

                      *Just a little warning:*

This recipe still tastes like beets. It's not like mom's sneaky smoothie that gets in an extra nutrition kick without the kids knowing. But I really like the taste of beets, so if you're like me, you'll enjoy this one.


Ingredients: Serves 1

1 Medium Beet

1 cup Frozen Berries

1/3 cup fresh strawberries

1 tsp agave (or honey)

1/4 cup Vanilla yogurt (your choice!)

1/2 cup almond milk (also, your choice!)


Directions:                                                   

Place in a blender until smooth and serve! If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk. If you prefer an even sweeter taste, add more agave/honey, use sweetened almond milk, and/or add granulated sugar/substitute.
