The benefits of beetroot

Beetroot contributes a range of vitamins and minerals to your diet, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate and iron. Here are some of the roles these nutrients play:

• Folate: supports normal blood cell formation and other essential processes in the body.
• Vitamin C: is important for immune function and healthy skin.
• Iron: is needed to make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood.

The benefits of the smoothie

A smoothie made with beetroot and other whole ingredients provides a variety of nutrients:

• Antioxidants: beetroot and apples contain plant compounds that help protect cells from oxidative damage.
• Dietary fiber: supports digestion and can help you feel fuller.
• Natural sugars: provide carbohydrates that the body can use for energy.

When to enjoy it

• At breakfast: A beetroot smoothie is a quick, nutritious addition to breakfast. Its carbohydrates provide energy, while its fiber can help with fullness.
• After a workout: The smoothie can contribute carbohydrates, fluid and minerals to your recovery meal after physical activity.
• As a snack: Enjoy it during the day when you would like a nourishing snack and a little extra energy.
