Beetroot Kvass Recipe

The humble beetroot is considered an excellent blood tonic and has been used to help cleanse the liver, promote regularity, improve alkalization and even help treat kidney stones. Besides being loaded with vitamins and minerals, beets also:
 
✔️ Contain High Levels of Antioxidants
✔️ Relieve Inflammation
✔️ Promote Heart Health
✔️ Aid in Detoxification
✔️ Boost Brain Function
✔️ Support Digestive Health
✔️ Enhance Athletic Performance (thanks to enhanced Nitric Oxide production)
✔️ Increase Weight Loss
 
Now take all of that goodness and ferment them with Coconut Kefir and you get Beet Kvass, a delicious probiotic, low carb beverage! It is so easy to make and you can use the leftover beets to make a cultured beetroot dip! Bonus!
