Beet and Cherry Smoothie

I borrowed this recipe from my dear friend, Rebecca Leffler’s, book Très Green, Très Clean, Très Chic. She paired the unusual combination of beets and cherries and it worked beautifully – earthiness juxtaposed against sweetness. I added some hemp seeds and a dash of rose water help intensify the skin’s radiance.
