I don't like eating beets, but drinking it and its' earthly flavor is great in this drink.

Good Mix
good mix but thought it a little strong flavor and too thick for me. I added half a cucumber and a little flax seed oil and voila! Much better for me

Great recipe for kids
I made this with children in my after school cooking clubs to celebrate Valentine's Day and they loved it. We couldn't taste the beet, which was a plus for them. The drink was tart and brightly colored.

Colorful healthy drink
This beet smoothie is bursting with color and flavor. I substituted the cranberry juice with two clementines because i did not have the cranberry juice on hand and it was so delicious!

Delicious!
Great recipe! If you can't find any cranberries, raspberries work as a great substitute. Also, try adding a lime and a bit of mint to taste.

Beet lovers rejoice!
Tried this recipe this morning and absolutely loved it. My boyfriend found the beet flavour overwhelming but it was perfect for me. If you like beets, you will enjoy this. The flavours of cranberry and beet was perfectly balanced. Will definitely be keeping this in rotation.
