Why use beets?

• Beets are low in calories and high in nutrients.
• Great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. 
• Plus they contain numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and fights inflammation.   
• A win-win for everyone.

Which protein powder to use?

• We are currently using this Garden of Life Protein Powder with our smoothie.  (And no this is not a paid post (although I wish it was).
• You can find it at Whole Foods, but it costs less on Amazon.
• We have a friend who was told by a renowned nutritionist that this was the best protein powder on the market.  It’s not only high in protein but is loaded with tons of vitamins too. 

How To Make It:

For this recipe, it’s best to use pre-cooked beets and frozen ones. There are two easy ways for you to prepare and have beets on hand:

1.  Boil or roast your beets beforehand, peel, chop into chunks and place them into a zip-lock bag and freeze them. 

2.  Or you can buy frozen, already, pre-cooked beets in the freezer section at your local supermarket.  They are already cooked and chopped for you. Ideal for an easy prep.
