"Let the beetroot smoothie paint your day with health, one crimson sip at a time."❤️
Hello, everyone! I'm back to share a recipe I've wanted to try for a long time, and I'm finally able to do it. I hadn't planned to make this recipe last week until I found the main ingredient, which made me happy. This morning, I turned it into a healthy drink.
Lately, I’ve been feeling sluggish because I’ve been too full, and I thought this drink could help me go to the bathroom properly. After not going for two days, I found that this really helped, and now I feel so light! After a couple of hours, I finally had a bowel movement, and my stomach felt relieved. I was able to release the waste that was inside me. 😁
Beetroot is high in fiber, which can aid in regulating digestion and supporting liver function and detoxification. Additionally, celery acts as a natural diuretic, helping to reduce water retention and bloating. It is also a good source of fiber.
Here’s the step-by-step process for making a beetroot and celery drink to help with bloating:
Ingredients:
1 small beetroot (cut into small pieces)
3 celery stalks (cut into small pieces)
1/2 sliced apple
1/2 sliced lemon
1 cup of coconut water
Step by Step process:
- Wash the beetroot, celery, apple, and lemon thoroughly
- Peel the beetroot and make sure to remove the skin
- Chop into small pieces the beetroot, apple and celery stalks.
- Extract the lemon juice only and make sure to remove the seeds.
- Put all the ingredients (beetroot, celery, apple, coconut water, and lemon juice) into the blender and blend until smooth.
- You can strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or drink the whole smoothie. It's up to you.
I discovered beetroot while traveling to Bukidnon, where a group of farmers was selling vegetables beside the road. We stopped because we knew the produce would be affordable and fresh. I spotted these small, round veggies, asked what they were called, and the lady replied, “beetroot.” I was so glad I bought eight pieces to try!
I made the smoothie without straining it because I wanted to keep the fiber and not waste any part of the beets. I apologize for not having a picture of the lemon; I forgot to take one.
You can serve and enjoy the smoothie as I did this morning. The ingredients are enough for two servings, but I drink two glasses myself. I felt so light afterward! I'm planning to blend some more this evening so I can wake up feeling great tomorrow. I want to end the day with a healthy smoothie.
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. Cheers!
