  • Raw beets can be tough to blend so chop them smaller than you think you need to
  • Let the smoothie sit for a minute after blending to let foam settle for the best texture
03 -
  • If your beet is especially large use half and save the rest for another smoothie later in the week
  • Freeze your banana slices ahead of time for an extra thick and creamy texture
