Homemade Beet Powder for Beet Juice, Smoothies, Natural Make-Up and More

10/14/2014 2 Comments
 
Beets are a nutritional powerhouse loaded with immune boosting qualities!
Picture
Once I learned how good they were for us I couldn't help but keep some around for our smoothies. We even planted seeds for some fresh organic heirloom beets (hopefully!)

Did you know 1 tsp of beet powder is equivalent to the nutrition of 1 whole beet???!!! I didn't! I learned about it on Instagram from @rawgrandma.  Dehydrated beets, ground into a powder can be used in smoothies, sauces, soups, treats and more adding a gorgeous color and an instant shot of health.  To make some for yourself wash and peel some beets...

Slice thin with a knife or mandolin...

Place on a dehydrator rack. I love our Excalibur, thank you baby for the gift!  Dehydrate overnight at 104-105 degrees until completely dehydrated. I let ours continue until mid-day.

Remove and grind into a fine powder. I ground ours in our coffee grinder. I will try our food processor or blender next time for a more refined powder. You can also purchase beet root powder online. :0)

I even used the beet powder as a 100% organic and raw blush and lip-gloss! Place the beet powder in a clean make-up container for powders or tap some in the lid of a jar (I chose this option) dab your brush in the powder, tap it to remove any excess chunks and apply, adding additional layers as preferred to reach a beautiful glow! For lip-gloss use a carrier oil such as coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, almond oil and apply to lips, rub in. Dab your finger in the powder and rub your lips together or use your finger to rub in. The moisture in the oil will unleash the color for beautiful kiss-worthy lips. Simple and pretty! I found an awesome lipgloss recipe here that I can't wait to try: http://yumuniverse.com/easy-diy-beet-powder-cream-blush/!

I hope you enjoy the health benefits of beets or even beet powder. Read more about beets and their benefits here:  https://greendetour.com/beet-juice-powder/.

Does the nutritional value refer to the entire 2 beets worth of powder? I imagine it does given the fact that grinders will produce varying degrees and amounts of powder depending upon how long the dried beet slices are ground. This also makes sense because you don't provide serving yields which, in turn, makes sense given the many uses for the powder. I noticed you provide the calorie and nutritional value for the entire Rainbow Cheesecake so I'm thinking that's also the case here. Am I correct in my assumption? - PEACE -

P.S. I\'m definitely making Rainbow Cheesecake for the Gay Pride Parade after party. - PAX -

Hi Lori,

You can slice as many beets as you want to make the powder, once they're dry enough to make a fine powder, grind into a powder. 1 tsp of that powder is nutritionally equal to one beet, regardless of how many beets were used in the process. It usually takes so much fresh produce to create a powder that it takes less of the powder to get the benefits since it is compounded. You can also just use beet juice for coloring. :) It's easier. I also saw on YT that if you take purple cabbage, boil a few leaves until you have a deep purple water, you can use the purple for purple coloring and then add a tiny baking soda at a time until you get blue, for blue. Rainbow tips for your perfect cheesecake! :)

My best,
Christa
