I was just gifted some beet greens. Do you juice them? What else would you put in to make it a tasty drink? I have never done anything with beet greens before and these look so nice and tasty - right out of the garden. I don't want to ruin them. Oh ya I got the beets that were attached to them too.:D

Yes, I've juiced them and used them in green smoothies too. What a great gift you received! *Ü*

Oh yeah! The greens are more valuable than the root (beet). Blend them or juice them for green smoothies. I'd ad a lemon, banana, apple; whatever you would like...

Just cuz it's you snoops, my absolute FAV smoothie recipe....

Into the vitamix:
2 cups raspberries
1 cup red grapes
1 tray ice cubes
2 cup beet greens


Whirr it up nasty, then drop in 2 frozen banans. More whirring....


I try to use the plunger so I don't have to use any water at all, the ice cubes start to melt pretty quickly.

Come out almost sorbet like.

The greens also go nicely chopped into salads.

Well I only had frozen raspberries and the grapes in the store looked horrible so I bought a bag of frozen grapes. Since that was all frozen I used 3 cups of water instead of the tray of ice cubes. Used all my beet greens - about 2 cups maybe more and 1 1/2 banana's cause I have never loved bananas in green smoothies. Woo Hoo - its awesome. I will never want to be without beet greens now. Thanks a million T-bird. Am taking it to work for dinner.
