Is
there anybody out there that still loves a fruit or vegetable as much as they
did as a child? For me the beetroot not only is delicious but has a few
memories surrounding it and is always something I reach for in the fridge (or
pantry).
Recently
Beetroots have become the centre of attention in the health world much like
almond milk and coconut water as being very beneficial.
A
clinical trial conducted using Sunraysia Beetroot and Apple Juice, found that
when consumed as part of a normal diet in healthy adults, it is proven to lower
blood pressure, particularly in men.[1]
In
2011/2012, it was believed that almost 4.6 million Australians aged 18 years
and over had high blood pressure, and that high blood pressure is the greatest
attributor to the burden of Cardio Vascular Disease.[2]
My
family is riddled with heart diseases and heart problems, so it is something I
often think about and we all get regular check-ups.
So
as you all know for a year now I have made some pretty dramatic health changes
for the best, and have never looked back. I needed in on this beetroot juice
craze, and I was lucky enough to have Sunraysia send me a few glass bottles to
try out.
Recently
launched Sunraysia’s Heart Beet is a mix of beet and apple juice, so I didn’t
know what taste to expect.
WHAT
IS IT?
Heart Beet is a delicious Beetroot
& Apple juice. Made from 100% juice, it has no added sugar,
preservatives, artifici
One
standard 150ml serve of Heart
Beet is equivalent to 1.5 serves of vegetables.
THE TASTE:
For me I knew what to expect when it came to beetroot,
as I know its taste all to well. I was expecting a real dirty beet flavour and
a hint of apple.
In the past I have tried beetroot shots, but they were
not very pleasant and an absolute dread to drink.
This is sweet, but yet still remains to have the full
flavour of the beetroot juice – the apple juice really tones down the harsh raw
juice flavour.
I like that you only have to consume 150mLs at a time
though as I don’t think I would be able to drink a whole huge glass—the juice
just isn’t for my taste buds.
But like anything I will do anything if it will
improve my health naturally!!
MY THOUGHTS:
I can’t give a verdict whether or not this stuff
works, but I couldn’t see it doing harm to you!
After about the third glass (much like soda water) the
flavour began to grow on me and became a juice I could drink regularly.
Never again will my health take the back burner, and
it is now my number one priority as it is something I need FOREVER!
My girls don’t approve of this juice though, and I don’t
think it is something their little taste buds like- so for now this is Mummies
drink.
