Image by Trinette Reed / Stocksy January 09, 2020 Beets are a high-antioxidant vegetable that contain a number of nutrients that have been shown to be cleansing and detoxifying. A few of these include betaine1, which helps the liver cells eliminate toxins; pectin2, a fiber which clears the toxins that have been removed from the liver so they don't reincorporate back into the body; and betalains3, pigments with high anti-inflammatory properties to encourage the detoxification process. Plus, they're delicious. And versatile. From juicing them for a cleansing morning tonic to roasting them for a salad, and even baking with them for a natural red velvet experience, here are 10 delicious recipes that will make it easy for you to get your daily dose of beets. 1. Detoxifying Beet Salad Beets are chopped into easy-to-eat matchsticks in this simple, detoxifying salad. 2. Raw + Roasted Kale + Beet Chopped Salad Get your alkaline on with this this cleansing salad with roasted kale and beets from our warming 3-day superfood detox. 3. The Easiest Beet Smoothie Blend the beets with almond milk, greens and fruit for a powerful, potent smoothie, like this one. 4. Beet Quinoa A pretty change up to the everyday grain is this beet quinoa with a hint of orange. 5. Roasted Beetroot + Brown Lentil Salad This beet and lentil salad with nuts and goat cheese is a perfect combo of filling protein and cleansing veggies. 6. The Easiest Beet Chips You'll Ever Make Thinly slice your beets real thin and roast them with coconut oil (then be generous with the sea salt) for a tasty, healthy snack. 7. An Inflammation-Busting Beet Juice Juice 'em. 8. Beet Burgers This vegan beet burger is made up of all good stuff (no fillers). 9. Spring Detox Beet Soup This detox beet soup was made light for a spring detox, but coconut meat and oil add a nice amount of plant-based decadence. 10. Red Velvet (Beet) Brownies These beet brownies are a natural (and vegan and gluten-free) way to get your red velvet on.
