Nutrition For Mental Health
One cup of cooked beets contains 1.6 grams of protein, 9.6 grams of carbs (2.8 grams of fiber), and 0.2 grams of fat. Beets are 88% water, too! They are rich in antioxidants! Beets are also a good source of potassium, iron, folate, manganese, and vitamin C. A review found that Vitamin C may be beneficial in treating mood and anxiety [1]. A meta-analysis found that vitamin C intake may have mood-elevating effects in individuals with subclinical depression [2].
Ingredients + Substitutions
There’s nothing worse than getting a hankering to try a new recipe only to find you’re missing something. I have some ideas for you here if you need to make a substitution.
- Beet hummus: I used this flavor-packed recipe for Beetroot Hummus in this sandwich. However, a store-bought option would work well too. If you can’t find any, though, you could always make this veggie beet sandwich with Classic Chickpea Hummus, or for an even more autumn-inspired sandwich, try this Easy Pumpkin Hummus recipe instead.
- Veggies: I used specific veggies in this sandwich, but if you have slightly different vegetables on hand that you think would be a tasty combo, go for it!

Servings Ideas
Sure, you can always enjoy this beetroot hummus sandwich on its own, though if you want to make a full meal, pair it with my Carrot Ginger Soup or Pressure Cooker Butternut Squash Soup, Vegetable Pot Pie, Roasted Carrots and Sweet Potatoes, and Egg-Free Pumpkin Pie for dessert. Serve up some refreshment with Beet Lemonade or Lemon Water that everyone can enjoy!
Storage Tips
This veggie sandwich with beet hummus is best enjoyed right away. However, I have to admit it is incredibly filling and satisfying. If you have leftovers, or you want to take it along to work or on a picnic, wrap it in parchment or wax paper, keeping it tight to stay fresh. Put it in the fridge and aim to finish it within a day or two. Taking it on the road? Pop it in an insulated bag with an ice pack to help it stay fresh while you’re on the go.

The sweet, earthy flavors of beetroot hummus make it a superb match for just about anything. It’s wonderful as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. It’s awesome as a dip with veggies or pita chips. You can even make it part of a fancy mezze platter for guests along with olives and falafel.
