This is a guilt-free treat you will love, I promise. A delicious treat for Valentine’s Day for the kids and the other ‘big kids’ at home. Talk about a twist of fun here. Is this really HEALTHY? Nutritious? Really??! Most would say they’ve never thought of mixing ice cream with beet juice….Beet Juice?! With Vanilla Bean Coconut Milk Ice Cream? Yes, you’ve got to be crazy. Beets help beat cancer, anemia, and urinary tract infections. It bolsters your blood with iron and keeps it fully oxygenated and this is a wonderful way to sneak it in to your diet.
