We try and eat beetroot in salads and also use it in cooking but since beetroots are better eaten raw, I also sneak them into my smoothies. The earthy taste compliments most fruit but I particularly like to add beetroot to apples and berries. This mixed berry and beetroot smoothie has a lovely fresh earthy taste.

I'm not a huge fan of beetroot but I like when it's mixed with other fruits such as you have done with strawberries and blueberries. This is one health- packed smoothie and the Froothie is a joy to make it in.

ReplyDeleteI think beetroot is a bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it. I'm not a fan but I may be persuaded to try it in a smoothie.

ReplyDeleteBeetroot is a fab superfood. Sadly it's one of the very few foods CT doesn't like. However, he manages to bear it in a smoothie, so I know how well it works in them.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I've ever tried beetroot, but I may give this a go because I love smoothies!

ReplyDeleteBack in the day when I had a juicer, I'd juice a small beet with apples. Never thought to use it in a smoothie, though - I bet it's good! (We forget how sweet beets are, really...)
ReplyDeleteNot a combination that would have come immediately to mind
ReplyDeleteOo this sounds lovely. Would never have thought about putting beetroot in.
