Beets are packed with complex carbohydrates and are an excellent source of quick energy for the active lifestyle.

Here is a low calorie, immune boosting, healthy and delicious smoothie. Drink it in the morning to feel vibrant, or use it as an afternoon pick-me-up before a high powered sweat session.

Serves: 2

Prepare: 5 minutes

Storage: Best consumed immediately

Ingredients:

  • 1 pre-boiled beet, roughly chopped
  • 4 pre-boiled carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 1 apple, cored and roughly chopped
  • 2-3 fine slices fresh ginger
  • pinch of sea salt
