My favorite beet smoothie

Hi beautiful people! How are you? Did you have a moment to browse through the site yet? How about sign up for the newsletter? This is officially my first blog post on the new site!

Okay so when I was a child I despised beets. To be honest it was not something that we had a lot of in Trinidad.

But as time progressed on my wellness journey, I started to appreciate them. And now I absolutely love them! Okay let me rephrase that, I love them in juices or smoothies.

Beet root aid with digestive and brain health, inflammation, contains anti-cancer properties, assists with losing weight, contains fiber, folate and vitamin C.

This smoothie is not only tasty, but it’s packed with a lot of wholesome goodness too!
