Beet and mixed berry smoothie
I have been experimenting with smoothies lately and getting more creative. I want to try other flavors and ingredients so stay tuned for new ones to come.
This beet smoothie is a prime example. I did too use beets for another smoothie not long ago and we really liked it. I think the ginger in that one was what made the smoothie over the top.
This beet smoothie version is good too but I think it resembled a bit more of the beet flavor. It was no a favorite for my kids but they did drank it anyways :-)
For the e-books I have included a few awesome smoothies that I think everyone is sure to like. So far my kids are loving them so I hope you do too.
If you are not fond off or can’t get veggies and fruits in your diet through out the day much you should try to make smoothies. They are super simple to put together, quick and ultra nutritious.
I have seen many places that do sell them but to tell you the truth I find them very expensive and not as good. I also find them super sweet too, which pretty much ruins the smoothie.
Anyhow, let me know how like this beet and berry smoothie if you get to try it.
This smoothie is really good. If you like you can add more mixed berries. I just added 6 oz. I have just discovered roasted organic beets at my store and I am going to use them much more often. I actually want to use them to make some type or red velvet cake so will see how it goes!

This is so yum and wonderful for breakfast or as a post workout drink.
It’s such a pretty color! But beets? Beets? :( I’ve only tried them once and it was in a salad with vinegar or something, but I had to spit it out and wash out my mouth with some water and then chocolate. Maybe I do like beets and the vinegar (which I hate) threw me off!
It’s so pretty! Perfect for Valentine’s Day. :)
I can tell this is antioxidant heavy.. such a pretty color. I’ve never bought beets or cooked with them, I usually eat them at restaurants or salads during lunch time. Looks wonderful.
These smoothies are so pretty. I love the vibrant color. I bet it tasted wonderful with those roasted beets. ;) It would be perfect after my morning jog.
I love the addition of the beets here. I have been on a smoothie kick myself!
Very informative review. I really appreciate how ways were laid. Very interesting.

Yes! I shred raw beets and freeze in ziploc bags to add to smoothies, chocolate cake or risotto. No need to roast.
Cool, thanks for letting me know. Thanks for stopping by.
I cooked, puréed, and froze beets all summer from our CSA hoping to find a way to sneak them into food this winter. I tried them in smoothies and was blown away that u can’t even taste them, unless u put a lot in! Glad I found a great easy way to use them up.
