Beets for Breakfast - Our New Trend



I have been ordering from Azure Standard (thanks Miranda for turning me on to it!) for the last few months now. This past month I ordered 5lbs of raw organic beets and 25lbs of organic carrots for my smoothies! Since my shipment of beets have arrived, I have had a beet smoothie almost every day! To complete my breakfast I eat it with a scrambled egg.

Today, after realizing that I ate the last mango yesterday, I decided to switch it up a bit with my breakfast smoothie. After blending, I am happy to say that we have another successful smoothie recipe for breakfast!!

Red Raspberry Beet Smoothie
1/2 large carrot
1/2 large raw beet
1 pear
1 large apple
1 large handful spinach leaves
1/4 cup shredded organic unsweetened dried coconut
2 tbs ground flax seed
8-14 whole almonds (if soaked almonds can use 6-10)
1/3 cup frozen red raspberries
8-12 oz water

Blend everything together in Blendtec and enjoy. For chilled smoothie, add 1/2 cup ice cubes.



Have you eaten your beets today?
