With the start of the new year, we have been playing around with some new ingredients and new recipes. We have been using our beet powders for a lot of different shake and smoothies, but we also love baking with it too. Whether you are making muffins, breads, or even puddings, the beet root powder and beet juice powders deliver a rich ruby punch of red color and nutrition. Overall it doesn’t change the baking properties when added to the recipe, but we decided to make a new Orange Cranberry & Beet Powder Muffin recipe this week…it was AMAZING!
Beets are filled with nitric oxide that is used by people for exercise endurance as a natural superfood and have been shown in studies to help reduce inflammation and reduce blood-pressure. It also has other nutrients and minerals as well, so fun to use for your next meal or event to bring some added color to what you are making. We put together the ingredients and directions to make these muffins at your own home. So break out your beet powders and make some muffins or experiment with your families favorite recipes to add more color and nutrition to your recipes. Enjoy!
