It also means that I&#8217;m not\u00a0searching for a hot breakfast, instead I&#8217;m blending up delicious smoothies. I am still unable to eat solid foods, so the smoothies are a staple and a very important way for me to get essential and very vital nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>So I thought I would share with you my new favourite combination: Beetroot and Berries (blueberries, strawberries and blackberries). Now it may seem bizarre to mix fruit and vegetables together in a smoothie, but it really is lovely and refreshing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Juice of 1\/4 fresh beetroot (using a juicer)<\/li>\n<li>Handful of mixed berries<\/li>\n<li>1.5 cups your choice of milk<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp chia seeds<\/li>\n<li>3 tbsp keffir (or yoghurt)<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp honey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Nutrition<\/h1>\n<p>This is something you should always keep in mind.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Any fruit or vegetable that is red is high in antioxidants.<\/li>\n<li>Anything high in antioxidants is super good for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Why? Antioxidants run around the body and mop up &#8216;free radicals&#8217; which are teeny molecules that damage our cells. Free radical levels in our body naturally\u00a0rise as part of\u00a0the ageing process, but are also increased\u00a0as a result of\u00a0smoking, stress, pollutants, viruses and bacteria. Antioxidants are the natural way of counteracting free radical damage. So by simply drinking something as delicious as a smoothie full of antioxidants, we can\u00a0 potentially stop free radical damage to our body.<\/p>\n<p>Fruit and vegetables are also high in potassium which is our hearts best friend. Potassium helps to keep our blood pressure within normal range and therefore prevent heart disease. I regularly have swollen ankles and find that eating a diet high in potassium helps to keep the swelling down.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/bookswrit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1366\" title=\"bookswrit\" src=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/bookswrit.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/bookwrit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1367\" title=\"bookwrit\" src=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/bookwrit.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1>While you are here, check out my recipe for:<\/h1>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/01\/rawb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strawberry Smoothies<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/22\/smoothie-cubes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smoothie Cubes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1337\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1337\" style=\"width: 682px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/smoothie-cubes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1337\" title=\"smoothie cubes\" src=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/smoothie-cubes.jpg?w=682\" alt=\"\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1337\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smoothie cubes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1 class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\">Do you have a favourite RED fruit or vegetable recipe?
