Smoothie with Beetroot Leaves

If you can get fresh beets or grow them in your garden, you can make a superpower drink from the crunchy red leaf stalks.

If the leaves are not quite crunchy anymore, soak them in ice cold water for about fifteen minutes.

For the smoothie, remove the leafy greens and the beet. Make a soup from them and juice the leafy stems with the pears and citrus juice. Tastes totally good and is healthy!

Preparation Tip:

The vital substance richness of beet leaves even exceeds that of turnips many times over. For example, beetroot leaves contain seven times the amount of calcium, three times the amount of magnesium, six times the amount of vitamin C, more than two hundred times the amount of vitamin A and two thousand times the amount of vitamin K than beet.
