Organic Beet Beauty Smoothie

Smoothie Recipe Key Beauty Ingredient: Raw beets
Benefits of Beets: OMG, make this smoothie ASAP! Not only do beets taste delicious, but the beautiful ruby red color it creates is from the anthocyanins in this sweet and earthy veggie which is a major inflammation fighter. Dealing with a red and puffy complexion? That’s inflammation possibly triggered by free-radical damage. Antioxidants fight this damage, and beets are bursting with them. They are also high in fiber, folate and vitamin C and act as a purifier for the blood and liver, which will keep skin clear and glowing. I’ve avoided beets in my smoothies as the stained counters and hands are not so pretty but when I found them pre-sliced, frozen and ready to go, I couldn’t resist.
Beet Beauty Smoothie Directions:
Fill blender with…
8-10 oz coconut water
¼ cup frozen sliced beets (find in the freezer section of health food stores)
¼ cup frozen raspberries

handful of kale
¼ avocado
small handful coconut flakes
pinch of sea salt
stevia to taste
ice cubes as needed
optional (a few leaves of fresh mint)
Blend ingredients* until smooth and enjoy your organic Beet Beauty Smoothie.
