Dance To The “Beet” With This Pretty-In-Pink Latte

“Drink your beets!” isn’t something you hear every day, but perhaps it’s something you should do every day.

Beets are a great source of nutrients like fiber, folate, and vitamin C. They’re also low in calories, making them an unexpectedly awesome addition to your afternoon latte.

What’s more, blending beets with oat milk creates a beautiful pink color that makes getting healthy nutrients into your body fun!

Adding powerhouse spices takes this latte to the next level. See for yourself:

• Ginger — Healthy inflammation support that may help with muscle soreness, temporary activity-related joint pain, digestive problems, brain function, and more! Ginger is hands down a super-spice that also happens to taste delicious.
• Cinnamon — Loaded with antioxidants and healthy inflammation-supporting properties, cinnamon adds more than just a spicy sweetness to your recipes. It can help your body support immune function and even help maintain blood sugar levels already within normal range.
• Nutmeg — With a distinct flavor often used in desserts, curries, and drinks like chai tea, nutmeg is more than just its taste profile. With antioxidant and healthy inflammation-supporting properties, it boasts noteworthy health benefits that may support a healthy inflammatory response in the body, boost mood, and maybe even rev up your libido! *

This recipe is also easy to make. Just plan for time to cook your beet and the rest is smooth sailing.
