Ingredients

3/4 cup plain greek yogurt (I used 0%)
1 cup diced cooked beets (150 grams/2-3 small-medium)*
1 cup frozen cauliflower rice (100 grams)
2 heaping tablespoons cacao powder
1 tablespoon cashew butter
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4-1/2 cup milk (depending on desired consistency)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (optional, but I like it for more chocolate flavor)
optional toppings: granola, cacao nibs, cinnamon...

Instructions

If needed, prepare your beets (see section below). I buy precooked beets to make this easy.
Blend your smoothie. Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender (I used my Vitamix) and blend until smooth and creamy.
Enjoy! Drink or top with some toppings and enjoy!

Notes

*I used prepackaged cooked beets, but if you can't find any you can steam beets for about 45 minutes until tender. The skin should peel when they are warm. Let cool before using.

nutritional breakdown is based on using whole milk and does not include any protein powder.
