I get a beet, carrot, apple and ginger juice every day from my local health food store and they use raw beets. Now that is using a juicer, I would imagine using a blender for a smoothie would be similar. Have never made a beet smoothie but if you cooked them they would probably blend more easily and you could use the cooking liquid as one of the components of the smoothie so you don't lose vital nutrients.
Do you think this is an excellent answer? YES! ??

I watch much admired and caring cooks who have generously participated in helping on the F52 Hot Topics site spend their precious non-work hours trying to answer some very strange questions. I note that quite a number of them come from "people" who joined the F52 community on the same recent day, e.g. 26 June 2013, and who have never had any activity on the site. These phantoms come in batches. We are noting this. Are we burning our terrific talent just to appear busy. Couldn't we do it better and not squander the talent we have within the ranks and joining the ranks? And can we have some real questions please? They don't have to high-brow, just "real"
For store-bought, I can recommend Alvarado Street Sprouted Multi-Grain. If you are fortunate enough to be in the Gunnison/Crested Butte, CO, area Mountain Oven's Birdseed Bread is the way to go!
