Super Detox Beetroot Smoothie Recipe

Beetroot is so good for you. This vegetable is packed full of antioxidants which help detox the liver.  There have been recent claims that beetroot can help lower blood pressure, increase blood flow and even enhance athletic performance.

I love the stuff and regularly serve baked beetroot as a side dish. So I thought I would incorporate it into one of my smoothie recipes.  Beetroot can taste a bit ‘earthy’ in my opinion so I tend to add some form of fruit to sweeten it up a little.  It’s taken me a while to get to the stage where I only add water but if you are struggling add apple juice to start, then slowly wean yourself off the juice by adding a mixture of water and juice, reducing the amount of juice you use and increasing he amount of water.

Beetroot is so good for you, enjoy first thing whizzed up in a smoothie! Click To Tweet

Post Gym Recovery Smoothie Recipe

I train most mornings. I’m not a breakfast person, never have been although I have tried, but I do know that fuelling my body post workout will aid recovery and repair the muscles I’ve worked. For me this Post Gym Smoothie Recipe is not only tasty but is the right balance of protein and carbs. I do use a Nutribullet but I’m sure this works just as well in other blenders. I tend to make it the night before and keep in the fridge. Adjust the oats and add more Almond milk if you find it too thick.

This is one of my favourite smoothies. Its’ full of healthy ingredients and fills me up till lunchtime.
