How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use fresh cherries instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh cherries can be used but you may want to add a few ice cubes to keep the smoothie bowl thick and chilled.
How do I prepare the beet for blending?
Cook the beet beforehand by boiling or roasting until tender, then cool it completely before blending for the best texture and flavor.

Ingredients
Smoothie Bowl Base
- 1 Beet, cooked and cooled
