Beet Banana Berry Smoothie

September 1st, 2014

If you’re thinking you don’t like beets, you have to try them in a smoothie or juice form.  Beets are on of the most nutrient dense foods available!   We’ve blended a healthy, yet tasty beet smoothie for you to try.

Note:  Drinking smoothies is a simple way to get in your daily dose of  fruit and vegetables.  

Benefits of  Beet Smoothies:

• helps fight chronic disease
• relieves skin problems
•  helps prevent cancer
• improves eye health
• known as natures viagra. 
• Helps heal gout
• Anti- inflammatory properties
• Helps lower blood pressure
• Natural energy booster
• Helps improve digestion

 

Ingredients:  

• 1 large beet or 2 small 
• 1 whole banana
• 2 cups organic spinach
• 6 strawberries
• 1 fresh lime (juice only)
• 8 1/2 onces of Coconut water

 

 

Instructions:

1. Peel  beets and cut into chunks. Peel banana. Toss all ingredients into the blender, pour in coconut water &  blend until smooth.  **You can add ice cubes for a chilled smoothie**
2. With this recipe, I was able to fill 4 1/2  small Mason Jars.  
3. I drank the 1/2 before the picture 🙂

NOTE: I like to make several smoothies in advance for meal prep.  Saves time doing it that way. If you’d like to make 1 serving, please use less ingredients.
