Blood Building Beetroot, Raspberry and Vanilla Smoothie Bowl
This smoothie bowl is a one tasty blood builder. It’s got a solid dose of greens (think iron, folic acid, and protein) from the spinach and wheatgrass, with beet, raspberry and prunes (lots of deep, dark, iron-rich goody goodies!) plus lemon for a vitamin C boost – since we can’t absorb iron from plants unless we have a little help from vitamin C. Although you may think that putting raw beetroot in a smoothie is a little odd, you’ll be shocked at how utterly DELICIOUS the combination is with the raspberry. It’s altogether earthy, sweet and tart, with a divine vanilla kiss that will make your taste buds swoon. Plus that colour! You will be able to practically feel all of those juicy pigments and nutrients nourishing your blood with each bite.
