Notes
To make this beet smoothie thicker use frozen bananas.
Because I have a high power Vitamix blender I use raw beets in this smoothie. However if you have a regular blender I would recommend boiling or baking the beet in chunks until it is soft and then once it is cool using it for the smoothie. Canned beets also work for this smoothie.
