Power Beets Immune Boosting Smoothie

Save this sweet and tart smoothie for your next breakfast. The cucumber and grapefruit give this smoothie a “juice” feel without the hassle of cleaning up a juicer.

 

Note: The frozen raspberries make this smoothie cold. If you are using fresh raspberries, add a few ice cubes to make it colder. Feel free to use whatever milk you prefer; for a thicker smoothie, use less milk.

 

Bonus: This recipe also makes delicious popsicles. Simply freeze the mixture in popsicle molds overnight. Omit the garnish if you opt for popsicles.

 

Serves: 1-2
