SWEET BEET SMOOTHIE | IT'S A NEW DAY | OCT 16

If you didn't see yesterday's post, we have been talking about spending the next couple of days eating simpler foods to give our systems a break after the Thanksgiving Weekend. 

Even if you did not partake in a large dinner this weekend, it is still a great idea to give your digestive system a vacation from time to time.

I've shared with you in another post the benefits of juicing.

Here is another juice recipe that you can try!

Deep, dark yet surprisingly sweet beetroot juice blended with creamy soft apple juice, delicate amber carrot juice and then infused with decadent, luscious blackberries. This combination is simply divine and you won’t believe that a juice with beetroot can taste so sublime.

Sweet Juicy ingredients

Apple x 1 (preferably Golden Delicious, but any will do) 

Carrots x 2 medium
Raw beetroot x 1 medium bulb
Blackberries x 1 large handful (or you can use other dark berries fresh or frozen)
Ice Cubes x 1 small handful

How to sweeten up your beets

Juice the apple, carrots and beetroot and pour the juice into a blender along with the berries and ice. Blend for a few seconds and pour into a beautiful glass.

Why Sweet Beet?

Blackberries are notable for their high levels of dietary fiber, due to the way they are composed as an "aggregate fruit" composed of many individual drupelets. These individual drupelets contribute extra skin, seeds and pectin, making them among the highest fiber content plants known.
