Beet and Mango Smoothie

We usually prefer fruit smoothies over vegetable ones, but this was an exception. The combination is really very tasty and refreshing.

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 medium beet, peeled, cooked and pureed
• 1 ripe mango, peeled, stone removed and cut into pieces
• 2 cups mango juice
• 12-15 mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon agave syrup
• 1 lime, juiced

Directions:

1. Place the pureed beet in a blender.
2. Add the mango pieces, mango juice, lemon juice and mint.
3. Whiz to a smooth consistency.
4. Taste, if it is not sweet enough, add 1 teaspoon of agave syrup.
5. You may want to add a bit more lemon juice also.

   What a beautiful color! I usually juice my beets with a bunch of veggies and have never thought of using them in a smoothie like this. Looks very tasty.

   Hi JoLynn,
   Thank you for your comment. Yes, this was quite a surprise. It is a beautiful bright color, but not only that it really tasted great. We enjoyed this very much. It’s especially nice on a hot afternoon.

   Hi Natalie, Thank you or your comment. I do hope you give it a try. It’s quite nice. It has a predominant flavor of mango, with the sweetness, but there’s also a beet flavor that is noticeable and all in all very good.
