How did the banana beetroot smoothie appear in my kitchen?

Well, I love having smoothies for breakfast and I tend to add oats to my morning smoothies. Any trips outside town for a couple of days or weeks means using up perishable food. Just before traveling to Nairobi, I had one small beetroot left in the fridge and frozen bananas. I like to freeze overripe bananas to use up in smoothies and bakes.

So breakfast before the trip was a healthy pink reddish smoothie. I didn’t need to add any sweetener as beetroot and banana are both naturally sweet. However if you want it extra sweet add a sweetener of your choice.

Notes

• Cut bananas into slices before you freeze them. Its best to place the slices on a tray and freeze. This way its easier to process the slices rather than a lump of frozen banana.
• If you don't have frozen banana then use fresh ones. Add ice cubes to get a thick cold consistency.
• You can used boiled, steamed or roasted beetroot or raw. Both taste great.
