Beet ‘Koolaid’ (recipe)

Posted by Sarina on Feb 03, 2009 | 12 Comments | Print This | | Email This

Beets. You either love them or hate them. This vibrant, juicy root vegetable seems to polarize people whenever I bring them up for discussion. As a kid I grew up drinking (and loving beet juice), but as an adult I find myself less and less able to enjoy it in cooked form. And, Jason? Well he just can’t stand them. Not even in juice form This recent concoction really hit the spot for me, and because of its status as a nutritional powerhouse I think it probably helped to prevent the sniffles I was having from turning into an all-out cold. Poor J however could only manage a few sips before handing it back though

I am now hellbent on finding a recipe for beets that we can -both- enjoy. There’s got to be at least one out there right? If you have a recipe for beets that you think I have got to try feel free to let me know! I’m game for anything at this point And, if you are a beet fan, give this vibrant health-packed beverage a try. I swear you’ll love it

I have a roasted beet and goat cheese salad that I posted on my blog that even my confirmed beet hating daughter liked. The beets come out tasting like candy.

Lucky J to get to sample all your recipes!!!! First hand taste man. My favourite beet recipe is simply a few beets and a few carrots juiced (beet & carrot juice). I find it has a lovely taste and texture. Kind of creamy, in a juicy way.

  Oh I love that combo, my parents used to make that when I was a kid (they were juicing + back to eden devotees ) I’m gonna try out a raw beet ravioli recipe sometime this weekend. Hope it tastes as good as the photos look! And yeah, J completely relishes the fact that he can post to any post and tell people “i ate that”
