When it comes to natural ways to nourish your body, few ingredients are as powerful (or as vibrant) as beetroot. Recently, I’ve been diving into the benefits of beetroot juice—not just for energy and detoxing, but for an unexpected bonus: a little boost in libido and vitality.
Here’s why this juice has earned a permanent place in my self-care routine—and how you can make it too.
Why Beetroot Juice?
Beetroot is packed with nitrates that convert into nitric oxide in the body, helping to relax blood vessels and improve circulation. Better blood flow means better oxygen delivery throughout the body—great for energy, endurance, and, as some studies suggest, enhanced sexual vitality.
Pair it with carrots for skin-loving beta-carotene, ginger for circulation and digestion, and lime or lemon for a boost of vitamin C—and you’ve got a glass of pure, revitalising goodness.
Juice Ingredients
- A bunch of beetroot, peeled and chopped
- A pack of medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
- Juice of ½ a lime or lemon
- Water (optional, for blending)
- Ice (optional, for serving)
How to Make It
- Juicer Method:
Feed the beetroot, carrots, and ginger through your juicer. Stir in the fresh lime or lemon juice. - Blender Method:
Add the beetroot, carrots, ginger, and about ½ cup of water to a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag. Stir in lemon juice. - Serve over ice, sip slowly, and enjoy the boost.
