RED BEET SMOOTHIE RECIPE

Made with raw beets, fruit, and greens, this smoothie has been life changing for me!  The energy it gives helps keep me fueled to teach 3-4 hours of fitness classes back to back.  I highly recommend this smoothie for so many reasons but mostly for the nutrition it contains.  Making a batch and storing in airtight mason jars can allow you to grab and go!  I keep mine for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.  You can add fresh ginger, cilantro, jalapeño, etc. to it.

INGREDIENTS

• 1-2 red beets.  I use RAW beets. (a great way to save time is to cut beets in cubes and store in the freezer to have on hand)
• 1 Cup berries or mango (fresh or frozen)
• 1-2 Cup kale, beet greens, or spinach
• 1 grapefruit 
• 1 small apple, cored.
• 1/2 cup ice
• 1 cup  water
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)

ENJOY!
