TIPS
- Use pre-cooked beetroot to save time, or cook and cool the beetroot the night before.

VARIATIONS
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without significantly changing the taste.
- Substitute Greek yoghurt with a dairy-free alternative to make the smoothie vegan.
- Include a tablespoon of chia seeds for added fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.
