Vegan Beet Apple Berry Smoothie – This thick and frothy smoothie is full of so many health benefits – potassium, fiber, iron and calcium.
It’s 2016 and most of us have planned to get in better shape in the new year right? Eat healthier and lose some pounds. It’s definitely on my agenda as I am going on vacation next month and plan to spend 2 weeks eating my way through Southeast Asia. To prepare, I plan on losing 10 pounds before I leave. Here is one delicious smoothie to help you achieve those healthy goals!
I am always so surprised to meet people who have never tried beets and even more, when I meet people who don’t like beets. I LOVE BEETS and they are so versatile, able to be used in everything from smoothies and salads to soup and dessert. Both the greens and the root vegetable itself can be used in so many various ways. Not to mention, they are full of lots of health benefits as they are rich in iron, iron, fiber and folate. They are especially good to eat for pregnant women.
Whether you have weight loss goals or just want to live a healthier lifestyle, you can’t go wrong with this drink. Add a little ground flaxseed and chia seed if you would like for more protein and fiber, as well as giving it a little more body which will make it more filling.
This delicious smoothie is a great way of sneaking more beets into your kids’ diet.
Let’s have a look at some of the different ways we can utilize beets in our daily diet.

This looks delish...The beets are raw? Doesn't say anywhere unless I missed that info.
I have eaten them raw, and yes, grated, messy, but really good. Thank you!
