Ingredients 1 small cooked beet, cooled and quartered 1 cup frozen mixed berries 1 small orange, peeled and seeded 1½ cups low-fat milk or unsweetened soy milk HA ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened soy yogurt HA 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1–2 pitted dates, optional HA ½–1 cup ice, as needed Helpful Notes For the smoothest texture, use a fully cooked, cooled beet rather than a raw beet. Wear an apron and rinse the blender promptly; beet juice can stain. Nutrition is an estimate using low-fat milk, Greek yogurt and no dates. Directions Blend. Add the beet, berries, orange, milk, yogurt, flaxseed, ginger and lemon juice to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth.Adjust. Taste before sweetening. If desired, add one date at a time and blend again. Add ice for a colder, thicker smoothie.Serve. Divide between two glasses and serve right away.Pairs Well With A few easy companions:
