Luscious Red Velvet Beet Brownies! Made secretly healthy with beets, these brownies are rich, dark and chocolatey. Exactly the way brownies are meant, only healthier and a weight loss friendly recipe! Gluten Free + Low Calorie + Paleo

I told you how much I hate beets. I still hate them, but apparently I need to eat more of them for my liver and kidneys.

Last year I was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease which isn't serious, but if it progresses to stage 3 I'll have to see a specialists and probably be given a bunch of pills.

I want to avoid that so I'm doing everything I can diet wise to prevent that from happening. Like I need another health issue!

Many things can cause kidney disease. In my case, my doctor suspects it's from taking too many meds for all my conditions throughout the years. Who knows with my goofy body.

If you watch my Facebook live videos, you hear me talking a lot about keeping the liver and kidneys running optimally. If they're not, you can't lose weight, you can't balance fat loss hormones and the list goes on and on. Liver is very important!

I dedicate my group coaching and 1:1 programs to balancing fat loss hormones. I teach women over 35 who have 20 to 50 or more pounds to lose how to eat to keep these hormones balanced and keep cravings away so they can enjoy one healthy beet brownie and feel satsified.

This is so important for fat loss otherwise you're constantly battling cravings and hunger.

So yes, I hate beets! But they're good to sneak in every now and then for some extra support for those very important organs, and I've found another way to eat them.

Red Velvet Beet Brownies! Because if you can't love a vegetable, you might as well turn it into a rich and fudgy dark chocolate brownie. Yes?

Now, I'm know what you're wondering. Don't these taste like beets? Not to worry! Trust me, if there were any hint of beet in these healthy brownies I wouldn't be able to eat them.

The other ingredients hide the beets. However, those beets are absolutely necessary for giving the brownies their fluffy, moist texture. Very important when it comes to brownie making!

These Red Velvet Beet Brownies are loaded with healthy fats, protein, antioxidants, and taste freaking fabulous. Is that sneaky nutrition or what? MUAHAHAHA!!!

Did I mention they taste amazing? Oh yeah, I did. Well, I'm reminding you! They're fudgy, creamy and melt in your mouth. It was pure agony waiting for them to cool in the pan before diving in.

Moral of the story. Don't write off a vegetable until you've roasted the heck out of it and stuffed it inside almond, cocoa and dark chocolate. 'Cuz what doesn't go well with chocolate?
