Hot Pink Smoothie
Ever since I saw my friend Catherine over at Weelicious make a vibrant pink smoothie using beets, I've wanted to try it! So now that we're warming up to the idea of eating beets, it was time to give it a go. We experimented with different amounts to achieve A vibrantly colored fruit and veggie smoothie that's super healthy and tasty.
