Easy Beet Yogurt Spread Recipe

Beets are the vegetable that people tend to forget about. My hope is that this easy beet yogurt spread will remind you of the awesomeness this vegetable offers.

With a creamy smooth texture and robust beet flavor, it is a healthy choice for dipping vegetables and crackers. It can also make a great sandwich spread!

While the version here is just for my vegan readers, you can also make it non-vegan just by swapping out the vegan yogurt for Greek yogurt.

Of course, as with all recipes – do not be afraid to try new things! I have heard some have added some red pepper to spice things up a bit, while others like to add some fresh herbs. This beet yogurt recipe is a great base, but I always encourage you to make it your own.
