Simple Roasted Radishes
healthy beetroot protein brownies
Not gonna lie: yes, beetroot brownies do sound kinda strange, however don’t judge until you haven’t tried them. As you may know I always try to incorporate some sort of veggies into my baked goods. Partly for sneaking in some micronutrients, but also because many veggies can perfectly substitute flour or sugar in terms of sweetness and consistency, leaving you with a healthier, yet not less flavorful option.
As I always like to have some sort of baked good on hand to put on top of my smoothie or yogurt bowls, this week I tried these beetroot protein brownies and let me tell you, they turned out pretty good. Super moist (because of the beetroot), chocolatey and so tasty to eat on its own or as I did this week: paired with coconut yogurt, frozen blueberries, shredded coconut and a big dollop of almond butter. The perfect light breakfast, afternoon snack or dessert.
Go give them a try and let me know what you think!
