Notes
How to prepare beets for a smoothie:
Raw: If you are using a high-power blender, such as a BlendTec or VitaMix, there is no need to do anything to the beets prior to making your smoothie. Just peel, wash, dice into small pieces, and throw them in.
Cooked: If you are using a lower-power blender try dicing them really small first. If they are still not blending well they may have to be cooked ahead of time and placed in the fridge to cool.
