Recipe FAQs

Will cottage cheese give our smoothie a weird texture?

Adding cottage cheese to a smoothie gives it a rich, thick texture like a milkshake – without compromising the nutrition!

Can we use pre-cooked beets in smoothies?

We prefer to use pre-prepped beets, found in your grocer's produce fridges (usually right next to the fresh herb boxes) so there is no cleanup and less bitter flavor from the beets.
If using raw beets, chop them to prevent your blender from getting stuck.
