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 hmmmm!!!
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 a ABC smoothie -Apple + Beetroot + Carrot and I was disappointed. As you can imagine I was expecting to see something bloody red but I was given a very odd looking smoothie. I tasted it and yes it did taste a bit beety but there was more apple than beets in that smoothie. I will not be visiting that place in a hurry.
On the smoothie menu today we have a delicious mix of fruits and two very dominating root vegetables (purple cabbage and beetroot)
