If you can’t get your toddler to eat veggies - have them drink veggies!  This beet smoothie is a unique, refreshingly healthy, and easy recipe to make. It works as a great afternoon pick-me-up, especially during hot summer days. Although strange at first, beets, combined with the right fruits and vegetables, create a wonderful earthiness that is not overpowering.  With plenty of natural sugars and powerful disease-fighting antioxidants, they make a vivid smoothie that’s gorgeous.
