Berry and Beets Smoothie

With four SimplyCooking® Pantry items, make a sizeable smoothie in the coolness of your own kitchen.   Frozen berries allow smoothies to be made without ice; the flavor is brighter and the smoothie has a creamier texture.  Then, serve up your smoothie in a glass that fits the occasion; a martini glass  late afternoon,  short little juice glasses for breakfast, or as pictured here, a drinking glass jar.
