Quinoa with Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms (Whole Foods Market)
I have also been craving beets lately!!! So far, I have roasted beets, sliced, then tossed them in a little walnut oil, and finally grilled them on the BBQ. I may try a beet and blueberry smoothie tomorrow....The following recipes is part of a cleanse, which I am not doing, but may consider in the near future...
Blueberry-Beet Smoothie (Vegetarian Times)
Makes 1 smoothie
The night before you start the cleanse, prepare two beets: Wrap each beet in foil, and roast in a 400°F oven 1 hour, or until tender. Remove from oven. As soon as beets are cool enough to handle, remove foil, slip off and discard skin, and slice beets in half. Stash beets in the refrigerator for smoothies throughout the cleanse (you’ll have enough beets for three breakfasts and one snack smoothie).
- ½ medium roasted beet (4 oz.)
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup nut, oat, rice, or hemp milk, or water
- ¼ avocado, cubed
- ½ Tbs. lime juice
- Raw honey to taste, optional
- 2 ice cubes
1. Cut 1/2 beet into large chunks.
2. Transfer beet chunks to blender, and add all remaining ingredients; blend on high until smooth.

Thanks for the new recipes! That smoothie looks divine...
ReplyDeleteI tried the smoothie too, but for me, it tasted too much of blueberries (not my favourite fruit!!). I think next time, I would substitute raspberries instead!
