Beet berry smoothie is one inviting drink that’s vibrant pretty to look at… and pretty gut healthy. Plus, tasty good!
Like a painting in creation, the Alizarin crimson hues in this beet red smoothie are deep saturated in color 🎨 and filled with rainbow polyphenol anti-inflammatory goodness.
Ginger as a punchy spice ingredient is good for digestion and calming bloating symptoms.
It’s one of the power spices for digestive health. And even recommended for IBS patients.
Plus, adding ginger to a beet smoothie gives it a flavor pairing knock-out punch… that I’m all about coming from my catering days.
…And this one knocks you off your seat!
Ginger takes this beet drink from good to POW-WOW. 🤩
You may even skip a caffeine jolt as the flavors are awakening strong.
And if ginger is not a flavor vibe you’ve gotten accustomed to… (or maybe even detest today), I can totally relate.
…When I was a kid, my mom cooked ginger in meals. Not just hints of ginger spice, but actual whole chunks of ginger.
And that’s when I made a face ☹️ and didn’t want to eat food or anything that came within millimeters of the infected ginger taste.
But as our bodies change, our tastes also change.
Little did I know that ginger is Vata balancing.
And it’s surprising I started to like the taste of ginger decades later… it grew on me with ginger and cookies and gingerbread cookies. 😊
…And ginger chocolate.
…So, maybe those are the sweeter ginger tastes needed for you to see the value and bring ginger alive in your life. 😉
Crystallized ginger goes well with chocolate and is one of the happy foods (as it has a little bit of sugar). Sugar and spice is balancing.
You can even make a puzzle game out of it if that’ll bring in the likability factor.
And slowly your tide can change one ginger taste at a time and you find yourself one day drinking ginger water.
And graduate to a smoothie like this one where ginger is one of the star ingredients that gives this beet smoothie some good stars! 🌟
Along with a red apple, this is one anti-inflammatory beet smoothie.
Apples are high in quercetin that daily help us keep the doctor away. 🍎
…And finally, another star ingredient is the blended in super berries, like blueberries (and you can substitute or mix in with strawberries if you prefer).
So, that’s 4-anti-inflammatory ingredients in the smoothie if you’re counting. Anti-inflammatory is good for all ages, as you can never start too soon.
That makes this a super healthy berry beet smoothie slushie ride!
This is one punchy medley of a drink that you just can’t get in a regular fruit punch.
Are you ready to jump in?
And if you like blueberry smoothies, a Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie or Blueberry Pina Colada smoothie are others to try.
