Notes
- Helpful notes:
- Beet: If you have a high-speed blender, you only need to chop the beet coarsely. If your blender has a weaker motor, it's best to grate the vegetable or dice it really small first. You can also use any leftover cooked or roasted beets.
- Blueberries: I often go for regular fresh blueberries, but you can also use frozen ones. If you like a sweeter taste, try fresh or frozen wild blueberries. Although smaller, they usually have a more intense, sweeter flavor.
- If you want a natural, sweeter taste, try juicing Meyer lemons. They are less acidic, sweeter in taste, and more readily available in regular grocery stores—often offered next to regular lemons.
- Water or coconut water: Only add more liquid if the beet smoothie drinks are a bit too thick for your taste. Coconut water will also add a sweeter taste if preferred. I usually do not add any water.
