Red velvet smoothie

Honestly, I even surprised myself with this one!  I was making a beetroot salad and had half a raw beetroot left over so decided to throw it in a blender and make it into a smoothie! There are loads of cake recipes which have chocolate and beetroot and they work well, so why not try the same in a smoothie. This is so tasty and toddler approved too, my little boy loved it. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 raw beetroot chopped or pre cooked

  • 1 small or 1/2 ripe banana

  • 1 tbsp cocoa (I love Equagold Dutch cocoa)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup frozen berries

  • 1 cup milk

How to make:

Blitz together (I used my amazing Kenwood food processor) and enjoy!! 

Tip: Add a slice of avocado and make it even more creamy
