Notes
Note:
- I use both the juicer and the blender because chard stems, purple carrots, and beets are very fibrous, especially when making smoothies for kids.
- If you have a super-powerful blender, then blend everything. But I can't guarantee that you'll not have fiber from chard stems.
- If you don't have a juicer. Make the juice using your blender, (add a little amount of water to facilitate the blender to blend) filter the juice then proceed in making the beet blueberry smoothie as indicated.
- Chard stems yield a lot of juice!
