Beet and Mango Smoothie

We usually prefer fruit smoothies over vegetable ones, but this was an exception. The combination is really very tasty and refreshing.

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 medium beet, peeled, cooked and pureed
• 1 ripe mango, peeled, stone removed and cut into pieces
• 2 cups mango juice
• 12-15 mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon agave syrup
• 1 lime, juiced

Directions:

1. Place the pureed beet in a blender.
2. Add the mango pieces, mango juice, lemon juice and mint.
3. Whiz to a smooth consistency.
4. Taste, if it is not sweet enough, add 1 teaspoon of agave syrup.
5. You may want to add a bit more lemon juice also.
