Beetroot is packed with essential nutrient and a great source of fibre, vitamin B9, manganese, potassium, iron and vitamin C. It also contains nitrates, which tell our blood vessels to expand and increase our blood flow. With increased oxygen circulation to our muscles we are able to perform during our workout better and for longer period of time.
They are the best pre-workout snack or morning breakfast to go. They are sweet in taste and at the same time super healthy and a real energy booster. Give them a try!
TIP: Maybe it's smart to use gloves when baking with beetroot, if you don't want to walk around with red hands for rest of the day hihi.☺️
