1 medium beetroot, raw, peeled and roughly chopped (or 150g TruRoots Whole Cooked Baby Beetroot)
3 red or green apples, cubed
125ml (½ cup) water or coconut water
15ml (1 Tbsp) You First Raw Honey, optional
Fresh mint sprig, to garnish
Add the beetroot, apples, water/coconut water and honey to a blender.
Blitz on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth, with no visible flecks of beetroot.
Pour into a tall frosted glass and finish with a small sprig of mint.
Serve immediately, while the glass is still frosted on the outside.
Chef’s Tip
Roast the beetroot first – wrapped in foil at 200°C for 25 minutes – instead of using it raw. This deepens the natural sweetness and softens the earthy edge, so less added honey is needed.
