Nothing better than a colorful and tasty salad for lunch to satiate my cravings for crunchiness and sweets! Raw beets’ sweetness and crunchiness are just perfect to alleviate your sweet tooth cravings, and they are packed with fiber, folate, potassium, vitamin C, manganese and iron! Not to mention that they help lower blood pressure levels and help improve physical performance during high intensity endurance exercises!
