Step by step this way
  • 1.

  • Tip

    Red alert
    Beetroot likes to stain everything red, so be careful when you're preparing it for this smoothie. Use a glass chopping board, or one you can wash up straight away, and protect your fingers by wearing gloves and your clothes with an apron.

  • Tip

    Careful now
    If you’re new to smoothies, please be aware that raw beetroot can be potent when blitzed into drinks. Try tasting a little at first and drink it slowly.
