Рецепт Beet Smoothie
When my brother told me the other day that he's been putting beets in his smoothies, I knew I would have to try it. I love adding beet greens to smoothies, but for some reason it never occurred to me to also add the actual beets. I love beets, but sadly my children did not inherit that taste from me. So adding them to smoothies is a great way to add this powerhouse to their diets. Beets are loaded with folate and manganese as well as fiber and vitamin c. Beets are anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. The betacyanin which gives them their color is a cancer fighting agent. They also make the smoothies an amazing color.
Beets and dandelions are great for the liver and help to flush out toxins, so I combined them in this smoothie along with some fruit to add more vitamins and antioxidants and to make it a healthy yet tasty treat for the kids. I really liked this smoothie and could have drank it all myself! I like my smoothies thick- like a milkshake, if you like yours thinner just add a little water.
