I get so many emails asking how to tone down the earthiness of beets in smoothies.

Sweet fruits like apple, orange, pear, mango, and pineapple all work really well, as do frozen berries. Adding warming ingredients like ginger, chiles, cayenne, and turmeric, and fresh herbs like basil, mint, and rosemary also help to tone down the pungency.

In this berry beet smoothie, I’ve used a mixture of unfiltered apple juice, pear, raspberries, and ginger to create a blend that is sweet and refreshing, and has a gorgeous pink color.

This smoothie will convert even the most fierce beet skeptic!
