The BB Smoothie.....xoxo





I knowwww…another smoothie; and Yessss…I am a smoothicholic!    

The B & B is for beet & blueberry which contain powerful nutrition and health benefits that help boost our endurances. This smoothie is the most gorgeous smoothie I’ve ever made! Just look at its color and you will go WooowwwW….and then, you will feel like superwoman who can take on anything that come her way. No joke!  

The hubby’s reaction to my beet smoothie was, “Ewww!” But after he has a big sip of my beet smoothie, he said, “hmm…it’s actually really good!” For that reason, beet smoothie has been immediately added to my smoothie collection. Yeyyyyy! 





That’s all I want to say, really! But read this and you will want to find out more about eating fresh beetroot if you want to live a little bit longer and still look younger.

According to livestrong.com, “Beet juice, which is naturally sweet, yields health benefits that may include weight loss. It contains a number of vitamins and minerals including folate, manganese, potassium, vitamin C, iron, copper, and phosphorus. Beet juice is highly potent and should not be consumed by itself. You should consider blending beet juice with other vegetables. Using just half a beet per serving is enough to get its nutrition and health benefits.”
