Heart Health Smoothie Recipe

Are you looking for a naturally vibrant and nourishing way to support heart health? This beetroot, blueberry and apple smoothie is a simple yet powerful addition to your daily routine. Rich in plant compounds that support circulation and cardiovascular function, this deep-coloured smoothie is designed to be both refreshing and purposeful, delivering targeted nutrition.

Supporting Heart Health Through Nutrition

Heart health is closely linked to circulation, blood vessel function and the body’s ability to manage oxidative stress. Certain plant foods, such as beetroot, berries and apples, contain naturally occurring compounds that help support these processes. Beetroot is particularly valued for its dietary nitrates, which studies show contribute to healthy blood flow, while deeply pigmented berries provide antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative damage. When combined with fresh concentrated superfood juice shots, these ingredients work in synergy to support overall cardiovascular wellbeing as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

• ½ small apple, cored and chopped

• ¾ cup cold water or unsweetened almond milk

• 3 sachets of Britts Superfoods Beetroot & Maqui Berry Superfood Juice, lightly thawed

• Optional: a small squeeze of lemon juice

Method

1. Lightly thaw the Beetroot & Maqui Berry Superfood Juice sachets until they can be easily squeezed.

2. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.

3. Blend until smooth and fluid. Adjust with additional water or almond milk to reach your preferred consistency.

4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Superfood supporting Circulation and Vascular Health

Fresh Beetroot
Beetroot is naturally rich in dietary nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, a molecule essential for healthy blood vessel function. Studies show nitric oxide can help blood vessels relax and widen, supporting improved circulation and contributing to the maintenance of healthy blood pressure when consumed regularly as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Fresh Maqui Berries
Maqui berries are a dark South American berry known for their exceptionally high antioxidant content, particularly delphinidins. These compounds help combat oxidative stress and support endothelial function, an important factor in cardiovascular health and blood flow regulation.  Our Beetroot & Maqui Berrie Superfood juice is flash-frozen to preserve its nutritional integrity without the use of preservatives, delivering a clean, concentrated source of fresh nutrients.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy first thing in the morning to support circulation throughout the day, or post-exercise when blood flow and nutrient delivery are particularly important.

• For a more substantial smoothie, add a small scoop of natural protein powder or a spoon of Greek or plant-based yoghurt.
