How To Prepare Beets for Smoothies
You can use raw or steamed beets in your beets. Which option you use boils down to your personal preference.
Beets tend to have a distinct earthy flavor, so if you don’t like the flavor of beets you can steam your beets before using them in your smoothie. Steaming the beets lessens the earthy flavor of the beets.
I usually wash and peel my beets before using them in my smoothies. I have heard of some people leaving the skin on, however, if you plan to do this make sure you wash the beets thoroughly.
