🥛 Why Beets and Milk Work So Well Together
Beets are packed with iron, folate, potassium, and antioxidants that support blood flow, energy, and healthy skin.
Milk adds protein and calcium, creating a balanced blend of nutrients your body can easily absorb. When gently simmered together, the result is a creamy, mildly sweet drink that feels both soothing and revitalizing.
Add a touch of honey — the third ingredient — and you have a naturally delicious, nutrient-rich treat.
