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

Best Beet Smoothie
I dislike Beets; I really have a hard time enjoying them even when mixed in with other smoothie ingredients like other recipes I've tried from Vitamix.
I love this smoothie. The cranberry cuts into the earthy flavour of the Beets and is very refreshing. It blends easy and turns into more of a refreshing juice if you omit the ice. I use frozen cranberries & frozen beets and do a quick microwave defrost. Leave the recipe unchanged outside of your ice preference. The recipe is perfect!

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.
