Looking for a simple and refreshing way to hydrate and boost your antioxidant intake? A beet top greens smoothie is a delicious and eco-friendly option that utilizes the often-overlooked leafy tops of beets (or carrots). Packed with antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and K, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, beet greens are a powerhouse of nutrition. This vibrant smoothie combines these nutrient-rich greens with frozen tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple, or papaya, creating a naturally sweet, hydrating blend. With just water to keep it light and wholesome, this smoothie is perfect for reducing inflammation, improving digestion, and supporting overall health—all while reducing food waste!

Ingredients:

• 2 C leafy green tops of beets or carrots
• 1 1/2 C water
• 1 C frozen fruit (we like how a tropical blend works with the greens but any frozen fruit will do)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth
2. Enjoy
