  • 1/4 cup raw honey (optional)
  • 1/2 lb blueberries (1 1/2 cups)

Raspberry Beet Smoothie

INGREDIENTS

-½ cup Coconut Kefir
-¼-1/2 cup Almond Milk
-1/3 cup roasted beets (I used mostly golden beets and a few red beets for color. The golden beets tend to   have to have less of that earthy-beet taste)
-2 tsp. ground cinnamon
-2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
-1/3 cup frozen raspberries
-Half of a frozen banana

PREPARATION

   Start by roasting up these bad boys:

 Heat oven to 425F and wrap beets in foil.
Once pre-heated roast for about 1 ½ hours.
Allows beets to cool, then simply rub the skin off and slice.

Place ingredients into a blender
 
 












Blend until desired consistency is achieved.
Enjoy.
