My notes

Tips

  • Use plain cooked beets, sold vacuum-packed near the salad vegetables, not pickled beets in vinegar. Raw beets stay gritty and taste too earthy.
  • Not sure about beets? Start with 60 g and make up the weight with more berries. Taste the base before freezing: the berries and lemon should hide the earthy beet flavor.
  • Beet juice stains, so rinse the blender and cutting board right away. Leftovers: smooth the top flat, refreeze, then run Smoothie Bowl again before serving.

Why it works

Banana and skyr give the low-sugar block body, so it spins thick and spoonable instead of icy. Sweet-tart berries cover the earthy beet taste, and lemon keeps the magenta bright.
