Some tips from Steph
Make it gluten free by using a gluten free bread. The smash itself is naturally gluten free!
Get pre-cooked beets. You can buy pre cooked beets in a package to make your life a little easier or you can roast or boil them yourself!
Add an extra health boost by adding some fresh sprouts in the sandwich!
Make your own balsamic glaze if you can’t find any at the store, you can find some here or make it at home. Just boil down some balsamic vinegar and sugar until it becomes nice and thick.
