easy beet smoothie

I had leftover beets and kale from my homemade shroomami bowl. I didn’t want them to go to waste so I threw them in a smoothie. Using beets as a base worked out well because it lowered the sugar content of the smoothie without compromising flavor. Add a little frozen banana and some vanilla protein powder and you have an easy, satisfying, and healthy smoothie that won’t leave you with a sugar crash. As always, add or substitute for whatever you have in your refrigerator. Don’t be afraid to use vegetables as a base for your smoothie. Leave out the protein powder to make more of a snack; add protein powder to make it more of a meal.
