Maggie's Tips
My preference is for freshly cooked beetroot. Vacuum packed is ok, too, but never use pickled beetroot in this recipe. You can also boil up a load of beetroot, freeze in individual zip-lock bags and use as required.

Think twice about ice! While ice can be refreshing in your smoothies it can also shock your digestion and slow it down. Notice how it affects you!
