I honestly never liked beetroot. It feels to me like eating a spoonful of soil.

But it lowers blood pressure, boosts exercise stamina, reduces inflammation, and is packed with antioxidants. I have to admit: beetroot is pretty good! It's especially good for kids too: the iron and folate support healthy brain development and red blood cell production, while the natural fiber helps their developing digestive systems.

So why does it taste so terrible? I found my trick: a beetroot a day, blended into a morning smoothie — and voilà, I'm glowing, and I don't taste the beetroot at all.

Ingredients

(serves 1-2)

  • 1 beetroot

  • 1 glass yogurt

  • 1 glass water

  • 1 spoon peanut butter

  • 1 banana

Directions

  • Peel and roughly chop the beetroot.

  • Add all ingredients to a blender.

  • Blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Tip: drink it fresh! Once blended, the smoothie starts to oxidize, and some of those vitamins fade fast — best enjoyed right after making it.
