The Best Beet Berry Smoothie

Vancouver is just too darn hot right now! The heat calls for some really cold and refreshing smoothies, like this delicious Beet Berry Smoothie that I’ve been drinking non-stop. I love drinking this smoothie for dinner when it’s too hot to turn on an oven or a stove or even a BBQ.

I have this new found love for beets. I used to barely be able to touch a beet and now I just love them! The trick? Beet juice! Drinking a little bit of beet juice and making my way up to a full cup made me realize how awesome beets are and taste! Beets help lower blood pressure and increase blood flow, so drinking beet juice or a beet smoothie is a great snack to have before a workout! Beets are also a great detox-er and are anti-inflammatory, so this is also a great smoothie to drink after a night of drinking or if you are recovery from a flu. The banana and berries sweeten up the smoothie and the almond mylk makes it so creamy! I love adding different superfoods to this smoothie because basically everything goes with it. I think you guys will absolutely love it!

I purchased my beet juice here.
