A summery berry based smoothie with the added benefits of vegetables. This smoothie is perfectly balanced with the light taste of beetroot enhancing the sweetness of the strawberries. Beetroot and cauliflower are nutritionally dense and when paired with refreshing strawberries it makes for a delicious combination, not to mention beautiful in colour!
Using fresh berries in a smoothie can offer more flavour sometimes. On colder days I get the frozen berries out early to slightly defrost, and even add warm water rather than cold to the smoothie blend.
