A raw beetroot salad with carrot, kale, fennel and fresh mint – made even more delicious with the addition of toasted pumpkin seeds, sultanas and antioxidant rich goji berries. Beets are an everyday superfood – rich in compounds that help promote production of nitric oxide in the body – a vasodilator that reduces blood pressure and promotes athletic performance. <\/em><\/p>\n

To make this a balanced meal – serve as a ‘Buddha bowl’ – adding quinoa and edamame beans (protein) with avocado (healthy fat) and a side of pickles or kraut (gut loving bacteria). <\/em><\/p>\n

One of the recommendations I make to my clients is: aim to have something raw and colourful with every meal.<\/p>\n

Why? Fresh, raw fruits and vegetables are packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and enzymes – many of which are heat sensitive, so are lost or compromised during cooking.<\/p>\n

Today’s raw beetroot salad is brimming with nutrients, it’s incredibly easy to prepare and is a tasty addition to lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n
