Is everyone feeling energized this Monday morning? I was hoping to come back today and be able to rant and rave about how I won the lottery but I guess that didn’t happen. Since I was feeling pretty down that all of my millionaire dreams weren’t going to come true, and the fact that it’s Monday morning, I’m dragging just a little bit. And if you’re like me, you may want to try out this delicious and energizing Beet Berry Smoothie!
Yes. Beets. As a kid I remember that my grandma would serve beets at her house and I actually loved them. I haven’t touched beets in a really long time. Seriously though, try not to actually touch beets because you’ll end up with pink hands for days. And since I’m in a mode of ‘trying new things’ (aka my New Year’s Resolution) I thought I would resurrect my love for beets. In a smoothie.
This smoothie is packed with all sorts of nutrients. The frozen mixed berries that you’ll use provide you with awesome antioxidants. The beets are high in vitamin C and fiber. The chia seeds are packed with Omega-3 fatty acids. And the Almond Breeze Almondmilk is a great source of protein and adds a nice creamy texture to the smoothie.
If getting healthy and drinking more beets was a part of your New Year’s resolution I suggest giving the Beet Berry Smoothie a try. If you want something a little sweeter you can add a little more honey into the blender or try Almond Breeze Original, which is slightly sweetened.
I’d love to hear about your New Year’s Resolutions! Head on over to our Facebook page and leave a note!
