Notes
-
Prep Tip: Soak cashews overnight for the smoothest texture. A quick 15–20 minute soak in hot water works in a pinch.
-
Flavor Balance: The banana and date naturally sweeten the smoothie while mellowing the beet flavor.
-
Dairy-Free Option: Use plant-based yogurt or kefir for a fully dairy-free version.
-
Extra Protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a more filling meal replacement.
-
Beet Greens Bonus: Including the greens increases fiber and micronutrients — don’t skip them if available.
