Notes
- If you do not have a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix or Blendtec), consider using cooked beets and carrots. Canned options work well, as do pre-roasted beets such as Love Beets brand.
- If needed, make the smoothie up to 1 to 2 days in advance and store in a sealed jar or other container in the refrigerator. If it gets too thick during storage, add some more coconut milk or water to thin before enjoying.
