A concentrated 100ml performance shot packed with dietary nitrates from fresh beetroot and anti-inflammatory ginger. Research shows beetroot nitrates convert to nitric oxide in the body, improving oxygen efficiency and delaying fatigue — making this one of the most evidence-backed natural performance boosters for endurance runners.

Ingredients

Shot

2 medium fresh beetroots (about 300 g), peeled and roughly chopped

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (about 1 cm piece)

1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice

1 tsp honey

1 small pinch of fine sea salt

2-3 tbsp (30-45 ml) cold water to adjust consistency

Notes

Make a batch of 4-5 shots and store in small sealed jars in the fridge for up to 3 days. The earthy taste is strong — the lemon and honey balance it out. If you have a juicer, use it. If not, blend and strain through a fine mesh or cheesecloth. Do not skip the salt — it helps with electrolyte uptake.

Instructions

Peel and roughly chop the beetroots. Grate the fresh ginger finely.

2 medium fresh beetroots

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

If using a juicer: pass the beetroot and ginger through the juicer and collect the juice. If using a blender: add the beetroot, ginger, and water to a blender and blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.

2-3 tbsp cold water

Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and sea salt. Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved. Taste — it should be earthy, slightly sweet, and bright from the lemon.

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp honey

1 small pinch of fine sea salt

Pour into small 100ml shot glasses or sealed jars. Refrigerate until ready to use. Shake or stir before drinking. Makes 4-5 shots.
