Protect your body from the outside world with this blueberry hit. With a sneaky hint of beetroot, this smoothie provides immune-strengthening ingredients like vitamin C and antioxidants that help your body fight off illness. Beetroot is a unique source of betaine, a nutrient that helps protects cells, proteins and enzymes from environmental stress. It's also known to help fight inflammation and boost performance.
Kickstart your immune system with this Nutribullet smoothie (opens in new tab) - it's full of vitamins from the beetroot, blueberries, grapes and spinach. They're not only good for you, but this colourful smoothie is also a treat to look at and enjoy too. It's fruity and sweet and has no need for additional sweetners. If you need something a little extra, you can add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey, but the pure pomegranate juice should be enough to add a little sweetness.
Enjoy this smoothie for breakfast, or as a part of an afternoon snack when you need some perking up. Avoid naughty snacks that are high in fat and salts, and instead opt for a lovely, healthy smoothie that you can make in minutes and tastes really fab.
