Notes

Beets are one of the most abundant vegetables and offer many health benefits! Not only is the color a beautiful, bright and vibrant purple, but they offer essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals as well!
Adding beets to your daily intake can help improve many things such as…
  • Improve blood circulation
  • Increase your energy levels
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Improve athletic performance
  • Lower cholesterol
  • Fight inflammation
  • Improve digestion
  • Boost your immune system
  • Improve brain function
Now, I want to tell you that this smoothie is beautiful, and if you leave out the greens it is (not recommended as greens don’t change the flavor and give you a hefty boost of nutrients). But we all know what happens when you mix purple and green…a wonderful shade of mud. So ignore the color and sip the yummy goodness, knowing that looks don’t matter, it is what’s on the inside that counts!
