Ingredients
- ½ red beet steamed, chopped and frozen
- 1.5 tablespoons raw cacao powder or regular cocoa powder
- 1 banana frozen
- ½ cup cranberry kefir
- ½ cup almond milk
Instructions
- Fill a pot with 2 inches of water, insert your steamer and bring the water to a boil.
- Chop one whole beet into quarters, leaving the peel on, place it in the pot, and cover the pot.
- Steam the beet for 15 minutes or until it’s soft when poked with a fork.
- Allow the beet to cool completely. Once cool, chop it into smaller pieces and freeze it in a freezer-safe container. Since you only need half of the beet, you can use the other half in a salad or freeze it too for another smoothie.
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- *try dark chocolate almond milk for extra chocolatiness
