Beetroot Smoothie: Healthy Fridays

 

DIY Project: Beetroot Smoothie

I just love making smoothies, and the best part of making smoothies is that you can add anything. Well, I do. I literally scavenge the kitchen for anything I can find, never adhering to a set plan. And when I was in the mood for a smoothie, we had one thing that was in excess in our kitchen:beetroots. I rarely follow recipes. For me, making smoothies is like art... anything goes really. But beetroots are a great food, despite sometimes not being easily digested by the body in my personal experience. I just love the flavour... the bright red colour... They are awesome, in anything!

Ingredients

-          2-3 beetroots  ( I am too lazy to peel them perfectly, but just make sure you wash them)

-          Celery

-          A leaf/ handful of spinach

-          Fruit yoghurt( I used banana yoghurt but anything goes really, though I do prefer unsweetened yoghurt)

-          Pinch of ginger

-          Few teaspoons of lemon juice

-          Two cups of fruit juice( I used orange and mango)

Method

-          Just blend it until it looks edible. That was too easy, wasn’t it?

Outcome

I enjoyed it!

Peace and love
