# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The vibrant color makes even gloomy mornings feel special
  • Beets add natural sweetness without needing tons of extra sugar
02 -
  • Over-blending can make the mixture too thin and warm, so pulse and check frequently
  • Pre-cooked beets work best, but raw beets need to be peeled and grated first
03 -
  • Let the smoothie base sit for 2 minutes after blending to let it thicken up even more
  • Warm your bowl slightly in hot water before adding the smoothie to keep it colder longer
