[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use beets in every smoothie so mine aren't green at all but  ridiculously good and healthy. I use apple or OJ, spinach or kale, a banana and a beet. I've lowered my blood pressure into a normal range after two years of it being high and lost 50 pounds.

I use a Vita-Mix so I can't comment on the the efficacy of other blenders except I know a few people that use Osters with success.[/quote]

Tell me more about using beets - are they raw/cooked, peeled/whole?  I love beets, but generally find them to be a PIA to deal with.  While I would totally put beet greens in a smoothie, it never would have occurred to me to put the actual beet in it.[/quote]

You put them in raw, not peeled. Just rinse, chop the ends off quarter it and toss it in. The greens are fine too but I don't use both because it would overwhelm it with beet flavor. I am a HUGE fan of beets because of everything they've done for my health, but I can only take so much! lol The OJ and banana combination really temper the flavor and makes it taste pretty good, but really any fruit/juice mixture works. I have a lot of people drinking them now and haven't had anyone dislike it enough not to drink them.[/quote]
