When I see beet leaves I salivate. I do not know why. Probably the red veins combined with the raw green of the leaves make a beautiful and appetizing picture. Of course, now is the season of beet leaves and I couldn’t resist buying a beet with leaves from the market, even though the price is a bit steep.
Ingredients
- 3 large beetroot leaves with stems
- 2 large lettuce leaves
- Half of a small beet
- A small carrot
- Juice from half a lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A glass of water

All the ingredients are cut to fit in the blender. That’s the whole philosophy. It can be consumed as a snack between meals, so that we feel at peace with ourselves that we have taken our portion of fiber, minerals and vitamins, before a less healthy meal. That’s what I did today, I drank the green leafy smoothie, then ate bacon with red onion and cucumber.
