Beet and Berry Smoothie
Say hello to the PRETTIEST smoothie we have ever made! This Beet + Berry Smoothie (that’s as beautiful as it is delicious) is all about antioxidant-rich and healing ingredients that boost immunity, heal the gut, and give your skin that radiant, youthful glow.
Why We Love This:
Acai berry is rich in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats and has long been thought of as a “superfood” – containing more nutritional power than any other berry found in nature Like blueberries, acai berries are loaded with antioxidants that are excellent for your skin, immunity and general wellbeing. Grown in the Amazon, this berry has been used for centuries as a healing and energy-boosting food.
Beets are excellent for your liver! They contain a compound called betaine, which helps the liver to process and remove toxins. Beets are full of fiber - great for digestion and gut health. Specifically, beets contain a fiber known as pectin which is particularly effective at removing toxins from the body. Beets are also high in B-complex vitamins (we call them the “feel good vitamins”) and minerals.
Hemp hearts are loaded with healthy fats and proteins, but they’re high in many vitamins and minerals - in particular magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral with an impressive list of health benefits! It is essential for calming the nervous system and muscle relaxation, which in turn promotes better sleep. Magnesium also helps us maintain healthy blood sugar levels so you’ll be less likely to experience energy crashes during the day.
