Beetroot Barley Water is a very healthy drink made from barley pearls and beetroot.
When it comes to healthy foods, I always think about oats, broken wheat,salads n so on. But never thoght of barley until my cousin told me to have this barley water for weight loss. Then as usual I googled for its health benefits and I found so many benefits out of it.
It is high source of fibre,helps to improve digestion,helps for weight loss,helps to control blood sugar levels,helps lower higher cholesterol and so on. Please do read here. I was amazed to know so many health benefits from this grain.From then it became part of my diet.
I usually have warm plain barley water with dash of salt which my husband don't like to drink.But this time to make it little more tasty I added Lemon and Honey and skipped salt.I wanted to make it colourful but at the same time wanted it to be healthy only. Then came the idea of adding beetroot to it.Trust me it was so awesome that my husband liked the drink. He din't come to know that , it is barley n beet water ;).He was surprised when I told about it :). Make sure you serve chilled.
Why to wait when we can make healthy n tasty drink. Lets do it right away :)
