Mornings can sometimes start off a little sluggish, leaving you needing a pick-me-up or energy boost. For most, coffee is the first beverage of choice. While coffee certainly gets the job done, I would like to introduce another energy booster, the beets and carrots smoothie. Having a rich-bright color and health benefits, this power smoothie is a great choice for starting your day. It is packed with vitamins and minerals that will give you the energy you need to get through your morning. Not only is it nutritious, it is also incredibly easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create this healthy and energizing smoothie in no time.
Health Benefits
The beets and carrots smoothie is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Drinking this smoothie regularly can help you feel energized, improve your digestion, boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, and regulate blood pressure.
Smoothie Recipe
Equipments
Ingredients (for 1 serving)
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 whole beetroot, peeled and chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 slice of ginger, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup condense milk (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and chop beet, carrot, and ginger
- First blend carrot and milk until smooth
- Then add beet and ginger, and blend again
- Strain using cheesecloth
- Sweeten with condense milk
- Pour into a glass and enjoy
Notes
- Sweeteners are optional.
- If you would like to make juice instead of a smoothie, you can use water instead of milk, and add sugar instead of condense milk.
Personally, I don’t like to add additional sugar into my homemade juices and smoothies in an effort to keep things raw and healthy. We are introduced to so much sugar in our daily diet that this is one area I try to be intentional about my sugar consumption, even if sugar makes it ‘taste better’.
I hope you enjoy this post, thank you for stopping by!
