One of the things I love about beetroot is the way it dominates a smoothie. A real beetroot smoothie does not give any other fruit the opportunity to exist in a smoothie! Hahaha!!
Beetroot is a very dominant root vegetable in a smoothie – I wonder what gender beetroot would be if it were human hmmm!!!
A few weeks ago I popped into a smoothie bar, this doesn’t happen very often as I make my own smoothies daily. I ordered an ABC smoothie -Apple + Beetroot + Carrot and I was disappointed. As you can imagine I was expecting to see something similar to what I have below but I was given a very odd looking smoothie. I tasted it and yes there was a hint of beet in it but there was more apple and carrot than beets in that smoothie. I felt cheated!!
We won’t have to worry about that today as we have the original ABC – Apple+ Beets + Carrot Smoothie with a hint of ginger. Whoop!!!
