Chocolate Beetroot Dougnuts

October 22, 2014 3 Comments

Chocolate-Beet-Doughnuts-Vegan Extra, extra! Read all about it!

I put beets in my doughnuts and I’m loving every last bite of these chocolate morsels!

Chocolate-Beet-Doughnuts I used to be one of those people who hated beets. In fact, just the sight of them alone would give me the heebie jeebies. My mom used to always buy the pickled beets in a jar, and those, I would eat, but fresh beets? No way! Those things are weird!

Well, flash forward to 2014 and fresh beets have now become a staple in my diet. They’re great for more than just eating, though! I also love (read: am obsessed with) them in my smoothies and juices. And they’re good for you!

Beets:

Lower your blood pressure
Boost your stamina
Fight inflamation
Are an aphrodisiac (no really!)
Are high in many vitamins and minerals
Help your mental health

Oh, beets. You are magic and I love you long time. Let’s be friends forever.

Chocolate-Beet-Donuts So! These doughnuts!

They’re pretty, right? That’s just another thing beets can do – make pretty food and drinks.

These doughnuts have a chocolate frosting on top (cause’ duh – chocolate), and I also added some beet juice & icing sugar on top to finish them off. And then I proceeded to eat 3 doughnuts before I could even snap a picture. Oops.

I bet you can’t eat just 1 either! Go ahead, try it. I dare you.
