Can't Be Beet!

I bought seeds for my garden way back in February and my husband did most of the planting. I had been cutting greens off a plant that I thought was swiss chard but upon closer inspection I realized it was really beets!

So I tried this fun smoothie from Tammie's blog called Can't Be Beet Smoothie. ALL my kids loved it! It is unusual to have unanimous approval. Don't skip all the wonderful nutritional information about beets before the recipe. The son that is "inspired" to get dressed on Sunday mornings said I HAVE to post it! He's really getting into this : )

This morning while weeding the garden my other little boy said he was going to pick a carrot. He pulled with all his might and up came his "carrot" (it was really a HUGE beet). He was so proud of his find he showed everyone in the family and everyone was begging for the smoothie. Try it...you'll say it can't be beet!
