❓ FAQ
Can I use canned beets?
Yes, just make sure they’re plain and not pickled.
Do I have to peel the beet?
Yep—roast, then peel. The skin gets tough.
Can I make it the night before?
Yes! Just blend and store in the fridge in a jar. Add toppings right before eating.
Can I skip the blender?
Not really. You need it to mix the beet smoothly into the yogurt.
