Did you try this week's post-workout snack?

Were you able to guess the secret ingredient? If you guessed beets, you were right!  See the nutrition tip of the week to get more information about the power of beets. 

Can't Be Beet Smoothie:

*This recipe was developed by professional runner Shalane Flanagan

1 cooked beet, peeled and quartered

1 cup frozen blueberries

1 small banana

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1 cup coconut water 

1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled

1 tbsp nut butter

Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and enjoy!

Nutrition Tip of the Week: Beets are loaded with nutrients including fiber, antioxidants, potassium, magnesium, and B Vitamins. Beets also contain nitrates, which have been shown to be beneficial for blood pressure control and endurance performance. Think you don't like beets? Try to eat them in different ways! Throw them in smoothies, pickle them, shred them in salads, or roast them with other vegetables.
