Who doesn’t love smoothies? They’re so gosh darn yummy and yet healthy and filling at the same time – the perfect meal.
I was drawn to this Beetroot, Apple & Berry Smoothie because it included beetroot – such a power-pack of nutrients. According to Medical News Today, “Many studies have suggested that increasing consumption of plant foods like beetroot decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality, diabetes, heart disease and promotes a healthy complexion and hair, increased energy, overall lower weight.” Sounds good to me! Throw in berries, a stone fruit, apple juice and honey and you’ve got a luscious ruby red miracle worker. Enjoy!
