Hello luvs,
Thanks for all the sweet comments about what a day in the life of pure2raw twins is like 
Hugs to you all!
Ever since we had our first beet smoothie, thanks to Katie, we are in love. The last few weeks it seemed like we were enjoying one a few times a week!
Here are some pictures of the ones we have been enjoying!
Pardon our twin Vita-mix’s in the background ; )
Love the thick texture the beets can provide ; )
The smoothies shown above were a variety of different combinations but with the one key ingredient… beets! I have been noticing that my tummy really loves beets both in smoothie form, roasted or steamed
Today I present you…
Pure2raw recipe: Plum Beet Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 3 plums
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 small red beet
- 1 grapefruit
- Juice of one lemon
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 3 stalks of greens (I used amaranth greens)
- 1 packet stevia (optional)
- 1 spoonful sunflower lecithin (optional)
This smoothie for me made about 6 cups!
Now if you do not like grapefruit then you will not enjoy this smoothie. So feel free to put in your favorite fruit : )
What about you, have you ever tried beets in your smoothies?
Enjoy!
Till next time,
Michelle

I love beets, especially roasted and I also love jucing them, but have never thought of putting them in my smoothie – did you put it in raw? I think I have to try it! Thanks for always inspiring me girlies

Krissy, yes we put the beets in our smoothies raw!!
Another beet smoothie post today, wow! My tip: beets + bananas – SO good. I’ve tried beet smoothies a few different ways, but for some reason that basic combo tastes like heaven to me.
What a great juice recipe. Plums and beets together sound YUM
You know I have! I have been loving the beet smoothies lately too. My stomach is super happy when I eat beets, which I do in some form every day.
Katie – yes we love our beet smoothies thanks to you! : )
I haven’t had beets in a smoothie, but I am up for it and I love grapefruit! I actually tried roasted golden beets for the first time a few weeks ago and fell in love! I am anxiously awaiting getting my hands on more golden beets! I hope you two have a great day!
Plums and beets… in a smoothie… sound great! I love beets in a smoothie but adding plums would taste really great, I bet! Mmmm!
That’s so adorable, twin vitamix’s! I’m finally getting one of my own, can’t wait.
Beets in smoothie sounds like a great idea (we still have lots in the garden!)- I got sick eating roasted beets last week (weird tummy) but have done better recently with them steamed – I’d like them raw but they hurt my throat. But vitamix-ed up, would be a great idea. I can’t have fruit, so might have to try with avo and hemp protein – would come out a funny brown color I bet!
love

Ela, sorry to hear about the roasted beets but glad that steamed beets are doing well for you! Sending lots of hugs your way!
I’ve never thought to put beets in a smoothie! I did, however, try using beet juice as a coloring agent for frosting…yeah, BAD idea!
MmMM! i LOVE the idea of a beet smoothie…purple power!
xoxo
Emma, you are so cute. Yes purple powder!!! Love it!
This looks so beautiful, and yes, I do put beets in my smoothies
I’ll be trying your recipe as soon as I get some plums!
p.s. love the twin blenders
Happy raw kitchen thanks
So glad you like beets in your smoothies too!
Twin VitaMix!
You know, it honestly has never even crossed my mind to make a smoothie using beets. I juice them quite frequently though. One of my fave juices – ABC juice – is apple, beet + carrot.
I’m gonna have to take the plunge and make a beet smoothie!
Great stuff!
I didn’t have a grapefruit, so I put in some blueberries, subbed the amaranth greens for kale, added some spinach, agave and there I was, sitting outside on a sunny day enjoying my smoothie.
Thanks to the both of you.
Now to make some socca…
Yay so glad u enjoyed ur smoothie yes go make socca
I’m making beet coconut fruit roll-ups right now.
