If you think you can’t enjoy beets in a smoothie, this berry beet smoothie may just change your mind. This recipe is sweet, super tasty, and looks gorgeous.

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!

I created this recipe to celebrate the launch of the new KitchenAid Pro Line® Series blender and my new role as the global ambassador for blenders.

Yes, this is a very big change for me, and it was a huge decision that I thought long and hard about.

When KitchenAid came to me over 18 months ago saying they had a high-speed blender in development I was skeptical. I already loved what I was using, and found it very difficult to believe that anything could be better. However, reason dictates that technology improves, and it was only a matter of time before a company developed something incredible that was going to surpass the performance of the leading blenders in the space.

It’s also my job to know about every blender on the market so I can give you the most informed recommendations for blenders at every price point. So, I remained open, and the executives from KitchenAid brought a prototype to my house to try. I was blown away by the design and the power.

But, there were improvements I felt could be made in order to be really happy. So, we worked together for the past year to bring you the best blender we could taking into account feedback I have received from thousands of you over the last five years about your experiences with machines on the market. Once I was satisfied that this machine was the best in every possible way, I signed on.

Times change, and I want to be sharing the latest technology with you. I am so excited about the future, as we have other blenders in development. KitchenAid is just getting started!

The KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series blender is now the most powerful blender, and it is also the most gorgeous blender I’ve ever seen. For the first time in the high-speed blender space we have style and substance – a gorgeous machine that you can tailor to your personal style, and a machine that is matched by incredible performance.

This blender takes blending to a whole new level, with the most power at the blade, and the world’s first insulated dual-wall container (that heats soup faster than any other machine), a die-cast metal base, stunning colors to match your stand mixer, and a 10-year warranty! It is so amazing. So, check it out and get one!
