Helpful Tips

• Cooking Beets: You can boil or roast the beets in advance. Boiling takes about 30 minutes, while roasting can be done in 45 minutes in the oven at 400°F.
• Frozen Fruits: Using frozen fruits helps to create a thicker, cooler smoothie. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can use fresh fruits and add ice.
• Sweeter Taste: Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.

Storage and Variations

• Storage: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
• Ingredient Substitutions: Almond milk can be replaced with any plant-based milk or dairy milk. Greek yogurt can be swapped with any yogurt of your choice.

Pairings

This Berry Beet Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a light breakfast like avocado toast or a bowl of oatmeal. For drinks, a glass of chilled water with lemon or a hot cup of green tea complements its freshness.
