Suitable For: Athletes looking for muscle recovery, individuals wanting to improve blood flow and cardiovascular health, or anyone seeking a cellular repair boost to fight signs of aging.
Health Benefits: Beets are rich in nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide in the body, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Blueberries and Strawberries are packed with anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that fight oxidative stress and inflammation. The beet greens add an extra kick of Vitamin A and K.
Ingredients
- Medium Beets -- 2 (approx. 160g, quartered, greens included)
- Blueberries -- 1 cup (148g)
- Strawberries -- 1 cup (150g, halved and hulled)
Steps
- Prep: Wash all produce well. Cut the beets into quarters that fit your juicer chute (keep the leafy tops!). Hull the strawberries.
- Juice: Alternate feeding the soft berries and the harder beet chunks through the juicer to ensure maximum yield.
- Serve: Pour into an elegant glass. Best enjoyed immediately to preserve the sensitive antioxidants.
Tips & Variations
- Sweeten it up: If the earthiness of the beets is too strong, add half a red apple to the mix.
- Spice it up: A small slice of ginger goes a long way in adding warmth to this purple drink.
-
Use the Greens: Don't toss the beet stems and leaves; they are highly nutritious and juice well!
Best Time to Drink
Pre-workout to boost stamina (thanks to the nitrates) or post-workout to aid in muscle recovery and inflammation reduction.
