# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The beet adds natural sweetness and a gorgeous color that makes any morning feel special

  • Greek yogurt keeps you satisfied for hours while keeping the texture creamy and thick
02 -
  • Raw beets can vary in sweetness so always taste before adding extra sweetener
  • Letting this smoothie sit too long will cause it to separate so drink it fresh
  • The longer you blend, the smoother it gets but do not overheat your blender motor
03 -
  • A small piece of fresh ginger transforms this into something that feels like a fancy juice bar drink
  • If your beet is particularly large, use half and save the rest for another recipe
  • Garnish with a few extra strawberry slices or a mint leaf to make it feel special
