Beets are packed with high concentrations of antioxidants, carotenoids, folate, fiber, iron, manganese, potassium and Vitamin C. In addition to the general health-boosting properties of beets, they have an incredible amount of anti-aging skin benefits. They stimulate cell production and repair, which can protect your skin from premature aging and wrinkles. The powerful antioxidants in beets can also help fight signs of aging to keep your skin firm and youthful. In studies, it was shown that the high levels of folates and antioxidants can decrease the depth and severity of skin wrinkles by 60%!
This has been my go-to lunch when the weather outside turns cooler . . . it is easy and fast and gives me that nourished and full feeling. Tip: I often buy my beets in the deli counter already roasted for not much more than they cost raw and avoid the whole mess of cutting and roasting myself.
2-3 Whole Beets roasted and cut into quarters
1/2 Avocado - diced
Handful of Walnuts
Olive Oil
Feta Cheese
Sea Salt
While the beets are warm, I dice the avocado- then layer on walnuts, feta cheese and olive oil sprinkled on top - and sea salt to finish!
