Beets & Carrots Bowl with a Beet Burger & Hummus

In a world full of chaos, plants provide a sense of calm and happiness. Plants have a way of bringing JOY and SERENITY into our lives. A HAPPY HEART🧡is one that is surrounded by plants and healthy foods! I love my morning ritual of mindfully and artfully creating my breakfast bowl and then joyfully eating with a beloved plant by my side. Today’s highlight: beets & carrots 🥕 they are powerful cancer fighting and healing foods providing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients that support digestion, assist in detoxification, and lowers inflammation. All these nutrients in beets and carrots work together synergistically to feed your cells, inhibit the growth of many cancers, stimulate your immune system, lowers blood pressure, and even improves athletic performance.
