This smoothie is magenta and delicious. Made up of a blend of beets, ginger, meyer lemons, apple, rhubarb and strawberries. It is packed with vitamins and has a tangy yet sweet flavor that fills me with a burst of energy. I used meyer lemons because they are sweeter then the traditional lemons you buy at a grocery store, which nicely pairs with the tart flavor of rhubarb. Rhubarb, part of the celery family, contains vitamin C, fiber & potassium. Ginger, one of my favorite things, is great for digestion. I often put ginger in my smoothies. It is especially good for those of you who do not eat a lot of raw veggies, which can be hard from some people to digest. Ginger is nice treat for your stomach as it adjusts. Enjoy this smoothie and its cleansing properties.
