Your link is heartbreaking, but it is so important to call attention to genderside!

The drink looks fabulous and I can’t wait to try it – however the video linked to the bottom just completely broke my heart. I knew of this problem in China, but was unfamiliar with it in India. Thank you for sharing it – and I will do my part too in sharing.
Thank you for supporting the cause.
Yep, you got it right!
I’m eyeing the beet smoothie, I’ll be sure to let you know how it turns out. The quinoa flatbread is such an interesting recipe, too!

I am a little bored with my green smoothie…I need a perky, vibrant touch to my morning smoothie. The red color will rejuvenate my day. Great post!
You know, I’ve never cooked a beet in a pressure cooker! What a great idea! I love the roasted, but they take FOREVER! Never would have thought about putting them in a drink, either. Awesome!
