Beet Smoothie

Submitted by JBs Girl

"I had beets for dinner after reading all of the health benefits, and they were hard to get down. I wanted to love beets so much because I think they may be one of the best things to put in your body. So I went online and read up on beet juice, then made my own. All I can say is wow, I will be making this weekly. If you are health nut like me you will love this. I recommend reading all about beets you will be amazed at the health benefits from them."

To get the real benefits of beets they should be raw.

Good basis but wayyyy tooooo sweet. Beets have more sugar than any other vegetable! If you have access to a Vitamix/Blendtec throw in fresh raw beets (scrub them and you can leave on the skin), use fresh apple instead of applesauce (leave on skin but remove stem), and leave out the honey! If you scrub the beets (and you can use carrot if you want it sweeter) than you don't get that "earthy" taste and it's suprisingly sweet.
