Hi! I can't wait to hear what others suggest since I'm always trying to find ways to incorporate more raw beet into my life.

One quick tip, especially if you don't like the taste or feel of raw beets:

peel and chop a bunch of beets and throw the chunks into glass jars or plastic bags and freeze them.

Then whenever you want, throw in a chunk or two (or more) into the blender for smoothies, especially "green" smoothies, and it gives that famous gorgeous fuschia color and the beet taste won't be noticed. You can also do that for raw ice creams, sauces, salad dressings, anything where you want to give it some color and get some wonderful beet nutrition without committing to a full-on beet taste experience.

I'd also try to get the smallest freshest beets you can, to avoid bitter tasting ones.

Hope that helps!

Can't wait to hear more beet tips!
