❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
Why golden beets instead of red? Golden beets have a milder, less earthy flavor than red beets, which some people prefer in smoothies. They also won’t stain everything in a 5-foot radius bright pink!
Do I have to cook the beet? For this recipe, cooked is best. Raw beets are much tougher and have a stronger earthy flavor that can be overpowering.
Can I use ground turmeric? Yes, if you can’t find fresh. Use about ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric, and don’t forget a tiny pinch of black pepper to help with absorption.
