I love making bright colored smoothies. And one of the best foods to get a bright colored smoothie is beets!

Yes…beets!

Beets are very beneficial for you.

They:

• are full of antioxidants
• can help purify the blood
• support the liver
• can help lower cholesterol
• can help lower blood pressure
• protect against diabetes
• can help with digestion
• are detoxifying

And any kind of berry really would go with beets, but I chose raspberries to stay consistent with the color, but feel free to use any berry of your choice!
