FAQs
Can I use cooked beets instead of raw?
Raw beets retain more nutrients and give a fresher taste, but you can use cooked beets if preferred. Just be aware the flavor and texture will be slightly different.
Is it necessary to peel the apple?
Peeling the apple can make the smoothie smoother, but leaving the skin on adds extra fiber and nutrients. Wash the apple thoroughly if you choose to keep the skin.
