The health benefits

Beets contain so many incredible nutrients that make them especially helpful for detoxification organs in the body. This includes the liver, digestive system, and kidneys. Beets also help in getting that lymphatic system flowing with ease, and they help in increasing oxygen by cleansing the blood. For your liver, beets are used to break down toxic wastes to help excrete them from the body faster. So good for detoxification! Which your body does all the time, including right now in this moment! Beets contain a group of phytonutrients called betalains that support detoxification through an important phase 2 detox step in the liver.  

Recipe

Makes 1 large serving dip 
Prep Time: 15 minutes

ingredients:

  • 1 large beet, peeled, chopped and baked 
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, baked 
  • 1/2 lemon juice squeezed 
  • 1-2 garlic cloves (depending how strong you like it!), minced 
  • 2 tbsp tahini 
  • 1/4 cup olive oil 
  • Sea salt to taste 
  • ​Optional: top with any of your favourite fresh herbs like basil, parsley or coriander 

Steps:

  1. Bake beets and chickpeas at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. 
  2. Add all other ingredients into food processor or high powered blender. 
  3. Remove beets and chickpeas from oven and toss into food processor or blender. 
  4. Blend on high until creamy and smooth. 
  5. Pour into dish and use as a dip with any fresh veggies, on top of any power bowls or use as a sauce on fish or chicken! 
Don't be thrown off by the colour of the beets.  This recipe is so delicious! It is not too overpowering which you may think based on the photo-it's so vibrant! But the lemon, garlic olive oil, tahini and chickpeas helps balance out the beet taste and the beets add just enough kick to your favourite traditional hummus recipe.
