The first time my little girl tried this smoothie, she didn’t enjoy it because she knew it had beets in it. Months later, when I made it again and simply mentioned the strawberries and mango, she happily drank it and asked for more. It’s a great reminder that how we think about ingredients can change how we experience them.
