Are you getting your recommended 7-8 servings of vegetables and fruits a day? Although that might sound like a lot, it’s not so difficult to achieve. When you start your day with a nutrient-dense concoction like this beet and berry smoothie you’re almost half-way there!
I love to sneak in some greens into smoothies since they are loaded with phytochemicals, minerals, and vitamins and you can’t really taste them when blended and combined with all other ingredients. If you’re just starting out, I recommend opting for spinach, as it has the mildest flavor of all.
Enjoy!
