# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get that gorgeous jewel toned color without any artificial dyes or weird additives
- The earthy beet somehow transforms into something creamy and dessert like when blended with sweet fruit
02 -
- Raw beots can be tough on weaker blenders so if yours struggles try grating the beet first or using pre cooked roasted beets instead
- The color stains everything including your blender gasket so rinse immediately after pouring
03 -
- Start your blender on the lowest setting to get everything moving before cranking it up to high speed
- If you can find small baby beets they tend to be sweeter and less earthy than larger mature ones
