Beetroot Shot Recipe
Beetroot Shot Benefits
Beet is a nutritional root vegetable with lots of health benefits. Not only does it taste so good (I love adding cooked beetroots to my salads), but it also offers lots of nutritional advantages.
You can easily incorporate beetroots into your daily routine, whether in salads or as a delightful addition to your juices!
Here are some of the beetroot shot benefits you would experience if you start taking this daily:
- Boosts Energy: Loaded with natural sugars, beetroot delivers a quick energy kick, making it the perfect drink for those sluggish mornings.
- Improves Cardiovascular Health: Beets can potentially lower blood pressure and enhance cardiovascular wellness. It’s believed to promote improved blood flow and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Beetroot is packed with antioxidants, including betalains and nitrates, which shield your cells from harm and combat inflammation. Additionally, they fight against free radicals, helping slow down premature signs of aging and wrinkles (Hello, natural collagen boost!).
- Liver Detoxification: The compounds found in beets help your liver’s detoxification processes, aiding the body in flushing out toxins and waste.
- Enhances Digestion: Beetroot’s rich fiber content supports smooth digestion, reducing the likelihood of constipation and promoting a healthy gut.

Ginger:

- It’s a trusted remedy for soothing nausea, making it great for morning sickness or motion sickness.

Apple:
- Loaded with dietary fiber, apples promote healthy digestion and maintain regular bowel movements.
- Their antioxidant-rich nature, featuring vitamin C, boosts the immune system and may reduce the risk of chronic health conditions.

- Red Apple
- Carrots
- Lemons
- Fresh Ginger
- Turmeric (I used turmeric powder, but you can definitely use fresh turmeric)
How To Make Beetroot Juice
- Begin by washing and peeling the beetroot, carrot, and lemon. Do not peel the ginger or apple. Just make sure they are well-washed.
- Slice all these ingredients into small, manageable pieces. This step makes it easier for your juicer to process them efficiently, ensuring you get every drop of liquid.
- Add each ingredient one by one, except for the turmeric powder (unless you’re using fresh turmeric). Once everything is juiced then add the turmeric and mix well.
- Pour your beetroot shots into these 60ml shot bottles!
- Enjoy!
How To Make Beetroot Shot With A Blender?
The process is fairly the same – you would wash, peel, and cut the ingredients but this time you would cut the ingredients into smaller chunks. You can leave the peel on the ginger but slice it into thin slices. Then follow these steps:
- Add all your ingredients into a powerful blender, apart from the turmeric powder, then add 1/2 cup of water and blend everything until smooth.
- Using a sieve, pour the juice through the sieve and strain the juice into a large glass jar using the back of a tablespoon to get every single drop of juice. Then pour the juice into the 60ml glass shot bottles.
Tips for a Successful Morning Beetroot Shot
- Consume it on an empty stomach in the morning for maximum benefits. This goes for any detox shot you take.
- Experiment with different variations by adding other ingredients like orange, spinach, or honey for added nutrition and flavor.
How To Store
- Refrigerate: Keep your beetroot shot in the fridge with tightly sealed bottles.
- Shake Before Use: Remember to shake it well before enjoying to mix any settled particles.
- Inspect for Spoilage: Before drinking, check for any unusual odor, mold, or discoloration, and discard if any signs of spoilage are present.
- Freezer Option: For extended storage, freeze in ice cube trays, then transfer the cubes to a sealed bag. Be mindful that texture may change upon thawing.
