Liver Loving Beetroot Dip

Did you know that increasing beetroot intake through your diet can offer important liver support? It also encourages healthy bowel movements. 

Beetroot is rich in betaine, a substance which encourages your liver to process toxins, provides protection to the liver and bile ducts (encouraging healthy bowel movements) and has healing benefits for the liver. 

So here's a delicious way of adding the brightness and health properties of beetroot into your day. It is also a nourishing option to offer when entertaining. 

What you’ll need:

400gm fresh beetroot

2 litres water

500ml apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup boiling water

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 small red chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp almond meal

Pinch Himalayan, Celtic or Peruvian Pink salt (I use one from here with added seaweed, for thyroid health)

What to do:

Boil the beetroot whole in water and vinegar for 30-40 minutes, or until easily pierced by a skewer

Leave to cool in the water and vinegar, then drain and peel and chop thickly

Place the beetroots and all the remaining ingredients into a food processor and process and smooth

Serve with seed crackers or veg sticks and enjoy as part of your nourishing nibbles
