Mostly Wordless Wednesday: Triple B

Last year I started drinking Green Monsters. There are many green monster recipes out there, but I did a pretty basic one: almond milk, 1 cup of spinach, banana, sometimes flax seed powder or peanut butter. Now  with the CSA box, I decided to be a little bit more adventurous. We have LOTS of beets to eat, and since I'm the only one who likes them I came up with a new smoothie. Introducing the Triple B!

Blend blueberries (preferably frozen to make it really cold), beets, banana, almond milk and a handful of spinach. I promise it tastes good. Chris took a sip and said "not bad." Plus, I feel like a healthy superhero by having all those fruit and veggies right at the start of the day. Tip: dice the beets really small or else you have to blend it for a long time.

Triple B. I love it! I'm going to give this one a try once the beets I planted in my garden are ready!

Are the beets cooked? Or cold?

I am interested in starting to drink these puppies. I know I sorely lack in my daily intake of veggies, fruits, and all that stuff a body really needs (not that I don’t need donuts, because I do. They are delicious).

Do you just use a regular blender? I have a smoothie blender, but I was wondering if just an everyday one would do the trick. Do you do the ice, too? I see the with ice in the recipe a lot…
