On The Beat: Smoothie


Momma Fran got me two cookbooks for my birthday. One is Smoothies and Juices: Delicious and luxurious recipes for indulgent drinks. It turns out, the smoothie that I couldn't recognize in my last post about Chili, was in fact an On the Beat Smoothie, straight from the book.

Serves 2
1 cup cooked beet, chopped
1/2 cup Orange Juice, Chilled (I refrigerated oranges and fresh squeezed the juice/pulp)
5 TBSP Plain Yogurt, Chilled
2/3 Cup Still Mineral Water, Chilled
Salt

Garnish
Slices of Orange

Basically blend and serve. I usually have to double or triple any recipe that serves two. The smoothies on a whole tasted healthy. Enjoy!

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be a very good English teacher if I didn't point out that you misspelled "BEET." And yes, these beet smoothies sound weird, but they were VERY yummy and also extremely nutritious!

Thank you Kirby! I just kept the spelling from the title, small but important oversight on my part.
