Red Velvet Cake Smoothie

By Nina Hodge of Focused on Fit Having owned a Blendtec for over 5 years, and with more than 1400 blends, we rely on our Blendtec every day for our breakfast smoothies. In the past few months, we have really seen the value in hitting our recommended daily intake of fruits and veggies by throwing them in our morning smoothie. One recent tasty creation is the Red Velvet Cake Smoothie. This smoothie has the color and flavor of that delicious cake, but far fewer calories! Made with beets, banana, cocoa powder, and chocolate whey protein, this smoothie will blow you away!
