A romantically earthy sweet smoothie with a red velvet influence. Delicious and nutritious!

This red velvet smoothie is one of our more recent smoothie creations that came after buying some cooked beets at Trader Joe's. With just a few simple pantry staple ingredients you can enjoy this delicious smoothie with a hint of red velvet chocolate cake goodness! Perfect for a valentines day breakfast that can be paired with our simple chocolate tahini spread over some toast.

banana: Must be frozen to achieve cold, creamy, deliciousness!
beets: We buy already peeled and cooked beets to make this smoothie quick and easy.
