Enjoy a refreshing fruity detox smoothie loaded with super-foods and topped with fresh strawberries. After Gerald and I drank this smoothie our veins were popping out as our blood flowed easily thanks to the benefits from the freshly diced beet. Research shows beets improve blood flow as they are rich with antioxidants and nitrates. Nitrates improve blood flow by opening the blood vessels and allowing oxygen to flow. This can lead to greater energy and lower blood pressure. Beetroot juice is reported to balance oxygen use and increase stamina, making it a great smoothie to have before the days activities begin!

I also love smoothies for breakfast because they are EASY! Chop, toss, blend and gulp! Then the smoothie does all the work nurturing your body.
