This beet and berries smoothie recipe is an absolute beauty – not just for your tastebuds but for you liver and kidneys, too.
Both beets and carrots are extremely high in plant-flavonoids and beta-carotene; eating beets and carrots can help stimulate and improve overall liver function. Rich in antioxidants and full of disease fighting nutrients, berries help to flush out uric acid from the kidneys to keep them healthy. Cranberries, blueberries and red grapes are the best choice as they contain a substance that washes away the urea and uric acid from the kidneys.
Ingredients
(serves 1)
1 beetroot
1 apple
Handful of blueberries
1 carrot
Small chunk of ginger
Small chunk of lemon
Method
Wash everything well and juice the lot. Go easy on the ginger if you’re not used to it – it’s spicy and strong when juiced! Serve over ice.
