Tip
Red alert
Beetroot likes to stain everything red, so be careful when you're preparing it for this smoothie. Use a glass chopping board, or one you can wash up straight away, and protect your hands by wearing gloves.
Tip
Careful now
If you’re new to smoothies, please be aware that raw beetroot can be potent when blitzed into drinks. Try tasting a little at first and drink it slowly.
