Healthy, almost raw, vegan smoothie.
Seeing that I had all three main ingredients on hand I decided to try this recipe. I did alter it though. I added silken tofu for a thickener and for a protein component. I also added 2 handfuls of beet greens and 4 clementines. I probably added 1 1/2 the amount of ginger, too. I love ginger. Oh, and I didn't bother to steam the beets, just cut them into 1/4s and put them in. It's a beautiful red color. My smoothies are various shades of green, so it was a pleasant surprise. This smoothies is delicious. I'm glad I made a full blender worth.

I love this smoothie
It's delicious. The second time I made it I added some briefly soaked chia seed for more nutrition, and didn't notice any difference. This one will be in my smoothie rotation.

I don't even like beets.
I have been looking for a way to consume beets since I am not a fan of the earthy dirt taste they give off. After seeing the reviews on this drink, I thought I would give it a try. All I can say is yum and yay!! I have found a way to enjoy beets.

This is one of my favourite smoothie recipes...it's so full of fresh anti-inflammaory fruits and vegetables, plus the colour is mesmerizing! Tastes really good, too.

Mind you i took one persons advice and did not steam the beet. Other than that i dont understand where the 5 star review comes from...healthy..yes

Delicious!
I made this as a puree for my baby. I skipped the lemon and it still taste really delicious. I'm freezing the extras and hope that it won't defrost too runny. If it does, I have no problem drinking this myself!
Will definitely make this again for the rest of the family.

too much unnecessary prep
No need to core the apple or peel the carrots or the beets. The great thing about the vitamix is it blends everything. Use cold water too, not just ice.
