Instructions
Prep the Beets
If using fresh beets roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit wrapped in foil until tender then cool completely. You can save time by purchasing pre-cooked vacuum-sealed beets from the grocery store.
Combine All Ingredients
Add the cooked beets, frozen berries, tart cherry juice, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and lemon juice to a high-powered blender. Place the liquid in first to help the blades move freely.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed and blend again for 15 seconds.
Serve Immediately
Pour into two large glasses and serve right away for maximum nutritional benefit. Stir briefly before drinking as chia seeds may settle to the bottom.
