Honestly, I even surprised myself with this one! I was making a beetroot salad and had half a raw beetroot left over so decided to throw it in a blender and make it into a smoothie!

There are loads of cake recipes which have chocolate and beetroot and they work well, so why not try the same in a smoothie. This is so tasty and toddler approved too, my little boy loved it.

Top Tip:

  • Next time I think I might add a slice of avocado and make it even more creamy
