The Blender Brings the Magic to the Meal

How to Prepare a Delicious Beet Greens Smoothie

No matter the time of year, weather, occasion, or event, a beet greens smoothie is a wise choice for health conscious consumers.

Here are just a few of the amazing concoctions that make for a super smoothie that includes one of nature’s most nutritious vegetables: beet greens.

Bonkers Bananas & Beet Greens Smoothie

Ingredients and directions
Combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of chopped beet greens (with thick stems removed!), 1 medium-sized banana, 1 tablespoon of chia seed gel or the seeds themselves, and an optional sweetener of your choice (maple syrup or honey will do the trick).

Mix all ingredients, plus an ice cube or two, in the blender for no more than 60 seconds. Stop after about 30 seconds and see how you like the thickness. At that point, decide whether it’s “good to go” or needs a tad more time on the blades.
