Here are some benefits of beetroots:

Less calories, more nutrients

Beetroots are highly rich in vitamins and minerals, and have very few calories. What’s more you can ask for? Well, they also have high fibre content, which makes us feel fuller for a long period of time, thereby promoting weight loss.

Can replace artificial pre-workout supplements

Since they have high content of nitrates which increase the circulation of oxygen in our body, eating beetroots make it easier to perform high-intensity exercises for a longer period of time.

How to make pink pasta with beetroots?

We bet you can’t wait to reap its benefits, so here’s a recipe of beautifully pigmented pink pasta with a creamy beetroot sauce and all plant-based ingredients:

  1. Chop 1-2 beetroots and put them in a jar.
  2. Add a handful of cashew nuts, some coconut milk, and garlic. Then squeeze lemon juice and sprinkle a pinch of salt in the jar. Cashews and coconut milk help in cutting the earthiness of the beetroots.
  3. Blend the mixture together till a smooth and creamy sauce is prepared. You can add more beetroots to achieve the desired pink colour.
  4. Cook the pink sauce in a pan for a minute or two, and add some boiled pasta to it. Mix until the sauce completely coats the pasta.
  5. Garnish it with some vegan feta cheese and pistachios.

Your vegan pink sauce pasta is ready to savour!
