My previous blog why Homemade Shakes better than protein powders your typical high-protein shake, perfect for breakfast or after a workout. This shake is different. It's a healthy, antioxidant-packed smoothie option, great any time during the day when you need a lighter snack. Beets are often lacking in our diets, so this smoothie is an easy way to increase your intake. To increase protein, you can always add greek yogurt and hemp seeds.
Why You Will Love this Beet Smoothie
Despite being filled with hidden veggies, this healthy beet smoothie is sweet and delicious. The beet's earthy flavor mixed with an apple and banana gives it a creamy and sweet delicious taste. You can also add blueberries if you wish to make it sweeter. It’s packed with nutritional benefits that will energize you for the rest of the day! I love fresh smoothies as they are a great way to sneak some nutritious vegetables and fresh fruit into your diet, especially after a workout!
