FAQs
Can I use raw beets instead of cooked beets?
Raw beets can be used but they’re tougher and have a stronger earthy flavor. Cooking the beets softens them and blends better in the smoothie for a smoother texture and milder taste.
Is it possible to make this smoothie dairy-free?
Yes, substitute the whole milk yogurt with a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt to keep it dairy-free while maintaining creaminess.
