Nutritional values
Do you feel tired and listless more often? Then beets are a good choice because it has a high iron content. The trace element is essential for the blood pigment hemoglobin and thus enables the transport of oxygen into our cells.
Beet latte can be easily modified vegan: Replace the cow's milk with a plant-based alternative (for example, oat drink, almond drink or soy drink) and replace the honey with maple syrup or agave syrup.
