Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Use cooked beets instead of raw- Cooked beets will be softer and will blend better into the smoothie getting nice and smooth. Raw beets will crumble into small pieces but will leave some in the smoothie and won't get as smooth.
- No coconut water?- Use filtered water.
- Substitute for hemp and chia- Use flax meal or raw nuts like almonds or cashews.
- Substitute for baby spinach- Kale is a good substitute.
- Not a fan of frozen banana in your smoothies?- Substitute for 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice.
