Get your morning off to a great start with this refreshing berry smoothie recipe. The use of frozen fruit minimizes prep time, but the recipe does include beets that you may want to roast before using, although that is completely optional.

Raw/Roasted Beets Tips

Raw or roasted beets can be used in this recipe. However, roasted beets will yield a smoother texture.
To save time on busy mornings, wash and wrap the beets in aluminum foil and toss into a hot oven for approximately 1 hour while making dinner throughout the week.
Store roasted beets in the refrigerator for several days until ready to use.
