So I found a site about beets, and the healthy benefits. The WEBSITE HERE. I planted beets in my garden, and have a TON of them. While I was looking up recipes I found tons of information on how healthy they are. Even though they taste like dirt, they are so good for you!
Just a couple healthy benefits.
- Beets give you ENERGY!
- No Fat and low in Calories
- Beets can help guard cancer ( Thats good enough for me to eat them! )
- Beets are High in Vitamins and Minerals: Iron, Magnesium, Fiber, and Folic Acid are just a couple!
I found a couple things in "google search" and I had to share.
My son is VERY low in iron and his body does not absorb vitamins. The doctors can not tell us why and its not been easy to deal with. Yesterday I made a smoothy with beets and I gave a tiny bit to my son who I thought would waste it. He drank it all up and wanted more! You can taste the beets in this smoothy but they are not strong and think about all the health benefits.
Beet Smoothy Recipe:
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein
1/2 Cup Strawberries
1 Banan
1 Small Cooked Beet
8 oz Almond Milk
1 Cup Ice
Blend all ingredients very well and enjoy!
This smoothy is PINK!
