Beet Strawberry Smoothie

Last week, my cousin and her husband came over to my house with a box full of fresh vegetables from their garden. Amongst them were snow peas, cucumber, zucchini, lettuce and beets.

I love beets with avocado and feta cheese but yesterday, after roasting them for an hour, I decided to make a smoothie. I roasted a bunch of beets but only used some for this recipe. We had the rest for dinner. I found a smoothie recipe that combines them with strawberries, honey and banana. I adapted the recipe by using soy milk instead of yogurt. It was really good. Enjoy!
