Notes
This juice-smoothie takes a few minutes to blend because of the beets, so give it a good blending!
If you don't have a high-power blender, cook the beets first.
If you prefer not to use beets, try it with a red pear instead.
If the consistency is too thick for your preference, simply add a little water while blending.

Looks great, I’m excited to try this! But are beets a spring vegetable? We have always harvested beets mid-late summer.
Hello Emily,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. There are “spring” beets and “fall” beets. Spring beets are excellent for detoxing and supporting the liver. I hope you enjoy the juice smoothie!
Is it ok to drink beet juice, when low BP? Thanks
Hi Romy,
Yes, in moderation beet juice has many health benefits, including helping to maintain healthy blood pressure levels; just be sure to not consume in excess.
