Beetroot Smoothie

BEETROOT SMOOTHIE.....hmmm


So we moved in about 3 months ago now and the people we bought the house from were nice enough to leave some of the fruit and veg they had grown in the garden.  Unfortunately we don't have much experience with whole fruits and vegetables, and we haven't been very adventurous in the past.  Now after recent issues, is the time to get healthy quick the natural way In Sha Allah.

Beetroots have a high level of iron and other essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K vitamin C are among a few.

Now what about the leaves? If the root is edible the leaves might be too right?  After a bit of googling I came across this recipe.

1) One banana,
2) a bunch of beetroot leaves chopped
3) a glass of water
4) some honey to taste.

The result :



Colour of the earth.

Now since this is the first time we have tried this it may just be because the leaves are quite tough and old maybe with baby beetroot leaves it would taste quite nice.  This however tasted like a combination of earth and flowers rolled into one.

I guess I would prefer to pop a pill than have this on a regular occasion.  Next trial will be a beets leaf soup.
