Save those beet greens!! This recipe takes advantage of the entire beet—from root to leaf— for a delicious healthy breakfast or quick meal on the go.

The beets pair amazingly with the sweetness of strawberries and raspberries, and the nutty flavour of saskatoons.

Tip: For zero waste, wash your beet greens and store them in the freezer until needed.
