Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 ounces almond milk or help seed milk
- ½ cup frozen strawberries or raspberries
- ⅓ cup beets steamed or roasted, chilled
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice
- 1 tablespoon zero sugar honey or regular honey, or monk fruit

Notes
Nutrition Note - You can zero out the 16 grams of carbs in the monk fruit/allulose blend (10 grams of allulose + 6 grams fiber) as they are net carbs. We do not metabolize it. So this smoothie has net 14 grams carbs, instead of 27.
Optional add-in's for this smoothie
- 1 teaspoon maca powder for an energy boost.
- 1 teaspoon beet powder for more beet nutrition and color, or use a bit more in place of the fresh beets.
- 1 teaspoon acacia powder as a prebiotic and for the fiber.
