Author Notes
I make smoothies everyday for my family. We're talking 365. So I've had to get creative with my combos, like this hot pink Strawberry-Beet elixir, using last summer's frozen berries plus red beets (and their very nutritious greens). The earthiness of the beets is tempered by the sweetness of the strawberries, and it honestly goes down like dessert. —WineWithDinner
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups
frozen strawberries (organic if possible)
-
1
medium red beet, trimmed, scrubbed and quartered
-
1 handful
beet greens (scant), rinsed thoroughly
-
1/3 cup
dried white mulberries
-
1
banana
-
4 drops
liquid vanilla stevia (or plain stevia + 1 tsp vanilla extract)
-
2 cups
water or coconut water (or coconut milk if you want it more milk-shakey vs. frosty)
-
1 cup
ice
Directions
-
Add water to blender, then greens, then all other ingredients and blend until completely smooth. Add more liquid to thin out as necessary. Depending on how sweet your strawberries are, you may need to add more stevia - taste for sweetness, and add a few more drops if necessary.
-
Can be refrigerated overnight. Cover, and mix before serving, as it will separate a bit.
