Roasted beets - YUM

[WonderSeeker]

Lately I've been playing around with different produce (fruits/veggies) that I don't normally buy. I came across beets and decided to give it a go. They're such an easy and healthy snack and are VERY nutritious. Here's a couple different ways to use:

Option (1) Roasted. Turn your oven to 400F (205C) and preheat. Cut stem off of beet, wrap in foil, and place in the oven for 55 minutes. Boom! Killer snack.

Option (2) "Purple potion" (blender required). This is a cold drink that incorporates (1). First, roast beet; let it cool off and chop after cooking. Next, place beet in blender cup with frozen blueberries and carrot juice. Blend & enjoy!

Beets are super good for the circulatory system, so make sure to give it a try and pay attention to how your body feels afterwards. Cheers.

Also, very important if you eat roasted beets, do not be alarmed if your pee turns pink.

Woah! Now I must try this! ?

@mandyjw @fridjonk That reason alone makes it worth it. The health benefits are just secondary

How does it taste when you blend it with fruit? Normally I blend it with a soup with other vegetables, usually with carrots, onion, garlic, etc.

If you blend it with berries, then it will have a sweeter flavor. But the earthy taste of the beetroot is still there, forever.

But consult your doctor because you could have low iron or low stomach acid.

@Opo Weird! I should probably have my iron levels tested at some point.

I wonder how many people have gone to the doctor panicking after shitting out beets thinking their insides are broken or that they have cancer

Yea jokes aside beets are awesome. They taste delicious in almost every form.
