Notes

  • It is not necessary to cook the beet, however I found it easier to blend. The beet is softer.
  • Don't drain the water from cooked beet. Use it in the smoothie! It contains flavor and nutrients.
  • Add more water if the beetroot smoothie will become thick.
  • I used my favorite Ninja Blender for this smoothie. It blends fruits and vegetables smoothly. I use my blender daily for smoothies.
  • SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of blueberries or strawberries, raspberries can be used in this smoothie. The banana is optional.
