Notes
*If you need to cook the beets wrap the washed beets tightly in tin foil. Roast at 400 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the beets are fork-tender. Allow the beets to cool to the touch. Use a paper towel to remove the tender skin from the beets. Slice or roughly chop. Use the beets in the smoothie and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Any beets you don’t use for smoothies are delicious in salads.
