Beetroots are definitely one of my favorite veggies. They are packed with anti-oxidants, are amazing source of vitamin A, B6 and C, iron, magnesium, potassium and many more. Plus the earthiness, sweetness….okay, I think I am in love with beets.
Pestos and vegetable spreads are my huge favorites too. Quick and easy, you just roughly chop a few ingredients, press a button, and voilà, dinner is ready. And the leftover is great tomorrow for breakfast on your bread, or mixed in your scrambled tofu.
