Why the Raw Beet???

Beets have incredible detoxifying properties in addition to making your shake look beautiful! The beet doesn’t change the flavor much at all… if anything, it makes it just a little sweeter.

HOW??? According to Dr. Mercola’s website, “the betalin pigments in beets support your body’s Phase 2 detoxification process, which is when broken down toxins are bound to other molecules so they can be excreted from your body. Traditionally, beets are valued for their support in detoxification and helping to purify your blood and your liver.”
