I love beetroots, mainly because of their colour and great flavour! But they also have countless health benefits including increased stamina, lowering blood pressure, improved digestion plus a whole host of antioxidants and vitamins. Check out my article 6 Reasons to Eat More Beetroot to find out more. Beets are most well known for use in savoury dishes, but I decided to get a little creative and use them in this bircher recipe!
