RASPBERRY BEET DETOX SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS

1. Beet: Beets are one of the healthiest most nourishing and detoxifying foods you can eat. They’re high in immune-boosting vitamin C, key minerals like potassium and manganese, as well as the B vitamin folate and plenty of fiber. These bright red vegetables can help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of disease, detoxify the blood and liver, strengthen the immune system and support brain and bone health. The best part about this recipe is that you don’t need to cook the beet before adding it to the smoothie! You can simply peel it, chop it in half and throw it in raw.
2. Raspberries: I like to keep my freezer stocked with frozen berries for throwing in smoothies. Raspberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamin C. They’re also high in fiber and a low-sugar fruit.
3. Banana: Bananas are amazing for digestion. A medium-sized banana has about 3 grams of fiber, making bananas a fairly good fiber source. Dietary fiber has been linked to many health benefits, including improved digestion.
4. Avocado: Avocados are full of healthy, beneficial fats that help to keep you full and satiated. When you consume fat, your brain receives a signal to turn off your appetite. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps to keep sugar levels in the blood stable. Fat is essential for every single cell in the body. Eating healthy fats supports skin health, enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and may even help boost the immune system.
5. Chia Seeds: Chia seeds powerhouse seed! They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. All you need is one tablespoon to reap the amazing benefits!
6. Vanilla Protein Powder (Optional): This ingredient is optional, but I recommend adding 1 scoop of plant-based protein powder to this smoothie. This packs in 20 grams of protein which could come from sources such as hemp, brown rice, pea, quinoa, or pumpkin. I really like the Sun Warrior Vanilla Protein Powder (don’t forget to use NIC10 for a 10% discount!)

This raspberry beet detox smoothie is great to work into your rotation during the holiday season. With all the decadent desserts and heavier meals, it’s nice to balance everything out with a light detoxifying smoothie. It’s easy to make with just a few simple ingredients, tastes amazingly fresh and nourishing and is a great way to detox the body.

Now, you might be wondering if you can taste the beet in this smoothie. Truth be told, you really can’t! With the sweet banana and raspberries, it really balances out the earthy flavor of the beets. And how can you not love that bright, vibrant, pink color? It’s almost too pretty to eat!
