Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup raw beets, washed, peeled, and roughly chopped
- 4 beet leaves, washed, stemmed and roughly chopped (spinach or kale would also work here)*
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup frozen bananas
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1–2 dates, pitted (depending on your sweet preference)
- A handful of ice cubes
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients into a food processor or a high-powered blender. Process until all of the ingredients are blended, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides and process again if needed.
- Taste with a spoon and adjust the temperature of the smoothie by adding more ice cubes and adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if it needs to be thinned out a little. The smoothie should be thick and slightly sweet. Divide among two glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t throw away the remainder of your beet greens. They can be washed, stemmed and sautéed with some butter, onions, and salt. They are delicious and good for you.
