Author Notes: as much as i love juicing fruits and vegetables, i also want the fiber. so a few years ago i sold my fancy juicer and bought a vitamix. my latest favorite concoction includes raw beets. gorgeous in color, and delightfully earthy. coconut water for electrolytes and cashews to help you absorb fat-soluble nutrients. it’s a smoothie suitable for any meal of the day!
note: i have not tried making a veggie/fruit smoothie in a ‘regular’ blender. my vitamix does a powerful job of creating a smooth and enjoyable texture and consistency that may be lacking from vegetable smoothies made in ‘regular’ blenders. —aubrey | drum beets
