I love beets. Roasted or raw. Left raw and shaved in a chopped salad, they add a delicious crunch. Freshly pressed in a vegetable juice, they deliver a burst of energy. I also love a beet or two blended in a smoothie. Beets are a great source of fiber. They're also rich in folate, a B vitamin essential for helping the body develop red blood cells. Red blood cells are cleansing and superstars for vitality---they're constantly delivering oxygen to and removing toxins and waste from your cells. Give yourself a sweet retreat this week and sip on this naturally detoxifying tonic.
1 medium raw beet, skin on, roughly chopped
1 cup blueberries, frozen
1/4 cup cashews
1/2 cup almond milk
1 cup water
1/8 tsp Stevia or 1 Tbsp good-quality honey or maple syrup
Handful of ice
Directions
Combine the ingredients above into a powerful blender until smooth and creamy. Thin with water or thicken with ice if desired. Enjoy!

I made this smoothie this morning and it made almost a quart. Should 1 serving be 8 or 16 oz? And how many times a week should you drink it to get the most benefit out of it?

May I simply say what a relief to discover somebody who
truly knows what they're discussing on the internet. You certainly realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people have to check this out and understand this side of your story. It's surprising
you aren't more popular since you definitely have the gift.
