I’ve been detoxing now for three days, drinking only blended fruit and vegetables.  As an avid lover of all things sweet, this has been no easy task!  But I am beginning to feel more energetic and alert.

I’ve found that I really like beetroot.  Apart from its health benefits (beetroot can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, is good for the liver and can even help prevent cancer), it adds colour and sweetness to the smoothie.

Now I’m not suggesting we all resort to a liquid diet but I do recommend you try this yummy beetroot starter, above!  A nice change from the norm and healthy too.
