Beets Banana Smoothie

Mornings are busy for me and while i try to make something substantial everyday, week days are really tough to pull off. All i want is something healthy, quick to whip up , substantial and nutritious with vitamins and minerals…but is’nt that tough? If you are in the same loop as me, SMOOTHIES is the answer ! This is my first smoothie recipe and i have a beautiful pink drink to brighten up your breakfast table. Presenting Beets Banana Smoothie. 

Recently i have started incorporating home made smoothies in my daily breakfast routine and this is my first recipe for a healthy and delicious smoothie drink. I am excited about my experiments with vegetable and fruits blending and really happy to finally have it in my recipe box ! Packed with the goodness of the beets and banana, this smoothie has all the nutrients you need to power pack your morning 🙂

It is always a great idea to include beetroot in your diet and while i find it really difficult to incorporate it in salads or consume raw on its own, beets work really well in this smoothie. Not only does it lend a beautiful color to the drink but the flavour pairs up really well with strawberry and banana without loosing its identity. The honey gives it a slight sweetness without making the smoothie too sweet and flax seed powder packs it with nutrition.
