 Preparation

  1. Prepare the fruits and vegetables, peel the skin of the beetroot and cut it into pieces. Wash the carrots, top and tail and cut them into pieces. Squeeze the juice from oranges. Halve the pomegranate and remove the seeds.

Tips

  1. Some vitamins are fat-soluble vitamins and much better absorbed together with some fat. So always make sure to add a bit of fat, e.g. one teaspoon of oil, to this smoothie.

Why this smoothie is great for you

  1. Beetroots are a great source of fibre, folate, potassium, iron, carotenoids and vitamin C. Consuming lots of foods high in carotenoids can help decrease the risk of breast cancer.
  2. Pomegranate are a good source of vitamin C, fibre, potassium and antioxidants.
  3. Carrots are rich in carotenoids, fibre, vitamin K1 and potassium.
  4. Oranges are a healthy source of fibre, vitamin C, thiamine, folate, and antioxidants. All citrus fruits are high in carotenoid antioxidants, which are responsible for their rich colour.
