Put apple juice, baby spinach, beet, and frozen mixed berries into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Before adding beets to your blender, remove the stems and peel them first. Chop them into small cubes.
Boiling beets will make them softer and easier to blend. However, the beets will lose some color and flavor. As long as you cut the beets into small cubes, they'll be safe to blend raw.
Use 100% apple juice for the healthiest choice.
If freezing your own berries, toss any that are mushy or discolored.
For a creamier smoothie, replace the apple juice with your favorite milk.
Add a splash of apple juice if the smoothie is too thick. Blend for 10 seconds to combine.
Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Keep it in an air-tight jar to preserve the quality and taste.
