I have never liked the taste of beets. They are one of the few vegetables that I just cannot get into or enjoy in any way. Not opposed to subjecting my children to them though, I made beet puree for Matthew for future baby foods. :) Sorry buddy...you're going to love veggies if it kills me!
Anyhow, I had a little bit of left over beet puree and decided to use up the leftovers in a smoothie. I have to admit, it is really good. It still has that woodsy beet taste to it, but it isn't super overpowering. I will definitely make this again for myself...and next time I'm making the girls try it (although my guess is they will drink it once but not again after that).
1/4 c pureed beets
1/3 c strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2+ skim milk (I needed to add a little bit more to mine to thin it out)
1/2 tbsp honey
ice cubes (if using fresh strawberries. Otherwise if using frozen strawberries you don't need it)
Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth.
