FAQ

  • Can I use fresh berries?

    Yes, you can use fresh berries. Add a few ice cubes to make the smoothie colder.
  • Can I substitute the coconut water?

    You can substitute with water, but coconut water adds natural sweetness and electrolytes. If using water, you might need to add a touch more sweetener.
  • I don't like beets. What can I substitute?

    You can try substituting with a small amount of unsweetened applesauce for a similar texture and sweetness, but the flavor will be different. Consider adding a small piece of carrot as well.
