Berry Beet Smoothie

Reduce Inflammation and lose weight with this berry beet smoothie that is high in antioxidants and liver cleansing nutrients. This berry and beet smoothie has a subtle earthy flavor from the raw beetroot which is one of the best gallbladder cleansing superfoods.

Blackberries and beets make the best healthy smoothie for weight loss as blackberries are high in the antioxidant anthocyanin which gives blackberries their deep purple color. Beets promote bile flow from a sluggish gallbladder which is crucial for liver detoxification and fat digestion.
​
Anthocyanins are one of the most potent antioxidants that have been shown to reduce inflammation and insulin resistance. Both insulin resistance and inflammation are underlying causes of weight gain.

This antioxidant berry smoothie is one of the best smoothies for inflammation and weight loss as this smoothie is high in antioxidants and liver cleansing nutrients.

I added in banana which contains resistant starches and fiber along with almonds, a touch of coconut yogurt, and 3 walnuts with anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats for a filling smoothie for weight loss.

One of my favorite ways to start my day is with an antioxidant-rich smoothie such as this blackberry banana smoothie with raw beetroot.

Eating liver cleansing fruits in the morning that are easy to digest and brimming with nutrients allows the liver to focus on detoxification and elimination.

One of the primary health benefits of blackberries is its antioxidant properties that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Blackberries contain vitamin c in high amounts which is one of the most well known antioxidants to scavenge free radicals along with the potent antioxidant anthocyanin.

Manganese helps to boost the body’s internal antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase which helps to break down one of the most cell-damaging reactive oxygen species that causes inflammation.

Manganese is the Co-factor for the Mn-SOD enzyme and is, therefore, an important nutrient for helping to reduce inflammation in the body for weight loss.

Nutrients in blackberries that are particularly high include manganese, vitamin c, vitamin k.

Nutrients found in blackberries in lesser amounts include vitamin A, vitamin E, thiamine, riboflavin niacin, vitamin B6, folate, and pantothenic acid.

Blackberries also contain both the essential omega 3 fatty acids and omega 6 fatty acids along with calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, and selenium.

Blackberries are high in fiber, are nutrient-dense, low in saturated fats, and full of healthy carbohydrates which make blackberries an excellent fruit for weight loss.
