Beetroot Latte Benefits

This all-natural powder is derived from beetroots and is a rich source of dietary nitrate. When nitrate is consumed, it's converted into nitric oxide in the body, which has been shown to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. So not only is this latte pretty to look at, it's also good for you! Here's how to make one at home.

What Does Beetroot Latte Taste Like?
