News flash: Beets make a great substitute for pasta! All you need is a spiral vegetable slicer, which uses a special blade to cut vegetables (or fruit) into thin, noodle-like pieces. Beets are packed with heart-healthy nutrients including fiber, folate and betaine. They’re also a great source of potassium, which helps many vital organs operate properly. Plus, research suggests that betalains, the pigments that give beets their color, have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers and may even help protect against some cancer-related issues. Add some grilled protein or white beans to make it more satiating.
