What a beautiful drink. Just looking at this smoothie in your glass, you know it has to be good for you… especially your blood.

Whip this one up on Valentine’s Day… or give to your kids and tell them to pretend they’re vampires.

Made from fresh beets and mangoes, with a bit of fresh OJ, you can also add some fresh baby spinach without modifying the flavor. I left it out for the purpose of photographing, but measurements are included in the recipe, and turning the fuschia into a darker brown by adding the greens is worth doing… this Live Green Smoothie is health-in-a-glass. And delicious!
