Description
Beet, Blueberry and Ginger Smoothie full of vibrant, fresh and simple ingredients. It’s perfectly creamy, refreshing, nutrient packed and full of flavor.

Ingredients
3 small to medium beets
2 c. frozen blueberries, or fresh
2 frozen bananas
1 small orange, peeled
2 dates, pitted
2 inch piece of ginger, peeled
1 bunch beet greens or 3 to 4 c. baby spinach
2 c. greek yogurt
1 c. milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To roast beets, wrap each beet in foil and place on baking sheet. Roast for about 40 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the beet. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins.
Place roasted beets and remaining ingredients in a blender or Vitamix. Process until completely smooth and enjoy!
Notes
Meal prep tip: If you make a dish that requires roasted beets, make extra, cut into smaller pieces and store in the freezer. So when it’s smoothie time, use the frozen beets!
