Creamy Beetroot Milk
Who needs a trip to the store to make something special? With only three basic ingredients, you can whip up a colorful, nourishing drink that’s just as pleasing to look at as it is to sip. Beetroot milk is naturally creamy, gently sweet, and full of nutrients—delicious served warm or cold.
Why Choose Beetroot Milk?
Beetroot – Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, beets bring a mild natural sweetness and a striking deep-red color.
Milk – Whether you use dairy milk, almond milk, or another favorite, milk adds creaminess along with protein and calcium.
Optional Sweetener – A small amount of honey, maple syrup, or sugar can enhance the flavor without masking the beet’s natural taste.
