Now, if you aren’t a beet lover, don’t worry. This smoothie can be a great way to incorporate beets into your diet. With all the berries and mangoes, you won’t taste the beets at all. They just add a nice sweetness, and of course a gorgeous red hue to this drink.

The ingredients in this berry beet smoothie are simple, but they provide a lot of healthy benefits.

Why is this berry beet smoothie healthy?

• Mangoes are a great source of vitamins A and C (good for your immune system!), plus a good amount of fiber.
• Berries have high amounts of antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which are associated with a lower risk of some cancers, and healthy aging.
• Beets contain antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and promote cardiac health. Plus they are a great source of iron, copper, potassium, and folate.
