...I made this smoothie for breakfast and now I'm so full!


1 beet, chopped
2 large apples w/ skin, chopped
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
½ green pepper, chopped
½ cup green lettuce, chopped
½ cup skim milk
4 tsp powdered sugar (or other sweetener like Truvia)
sprinkle of lemon juice

Yields about 7 cups blended
78 cals per serving

I had five cups today, haha! If I made it again I might put in just half a beet and add a banana so I don't have to sweeten it as much.

    oh and for those of you who are vegan, you could substitute milk with soy/almond/rice milk or maybe even juice! I think that would give it a nice flavor.

    You might also try adding kale - it has lots of fiber, usually a slightly nutty flavor to it, not really bitter at all. Lots of iron, as well.

    You know what I've done is gone and read "1 beet" as "1 beef" and gone WTF? BEEF? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

    Beet makes much more sense.

    No. I read the thread title and it said "Sounds disgusting but..." and I've clicked on it and seen "1 beet", but misread as "1 beef" and thought "Woah, that does sound disgusting. This chick is drinking meatshakes? WTF?"

    Especially when I got to the part where you'd already had 5 cups I was cringing like "wow you didn't just scull that all in 1 gulp and ignore the taste? You're just sipping on it? EWWWWWW"
