Roasted Beet, Cherry and Apple Smoothie

Busy or not, come February 

                                   and I feel the urge to mix and blend 

create something red... 

something ....      perfect for fourteenth Feb.....

Last year the urge stretched a little beyond.. so sometime in March toddler and I blended this lovely red smoothie and I, charmed by its hue, decided to call it the V-day smoothie... just because it was red and looked so valentine-y ;-)   since February was long gone, I saved the recipe only to share it with you in good time...

So here's a lovely red smoothie that we created and loved. Hope you will try and love it too...
