Notes

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Almond milk. Choose your favorite milk - coconut, whole milk, 2% etc.
Beets. I opt for cooked beets because I prefer their flavor. You can use raw, peeled beets if you'd prefer.
Vanilla greek yogurt. instead of using vanilla yogurt you can use use ½ cup regular Greek yogurt, 3 Tablespoons honey and ½ tsp vanilla.
Frozen banana. since the beets aren't frozen, you need to use frozen fruit for a thick creamy smoothie.
Frozen berries. Use red berries to keep it pink like strawberries and raspberries. Or you can use blueberries or blackberries but they will change the color.
Honey. If you don't like sweet smoothies you can omit, or add to taste. Maple syrup also works.

Optional Additional Mix-Ins

1 Tablespoon chia seeds
1 Tablespoon vanllia protein powder or collagen protein powder
1 cup of greens (spinach, kale, etc)
Bee pollen
Ground flaxseed
