Have you ever tried beetroot in a smoothie?

Red beets are very high in anti-oxidants, iron, zinc, and folate. The only problem is that not everyone likes the taste of red beets. So today, I would like to share a beet ginger smoothie that contains lemon and chia seeds. This healthy smoothie is very refreshing, anti-inflammatory, and can also be used for weight loss.

Honestly, it wasn’t easy to create a red beet smoothie. The beetroot is earthy tasting. First, I tried to make it a sweet smoothie, but the earthy taste came out too strong. Then, I tried a more citrusy refreshing blend and I actually enjoyed that version.
