Pink Energy Juice
Gorgeous produce makes for a colorful juice, and this juice is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, like beta carotene, anthocyanin and vitamins A and C. Beets and carrots contain electrolytes potassium and some sodium that are key for muscle contraction and relaxation as well as fluid balance. Research also suggests that beets (specifically beet juice) may help to promote exercise endurance. Take this juice with you out on the road with your bike or your run! (I’d recommend diluting it 8 oz water, 8 oz juice!) Or try it as great replacement for a sports drink like Gatorade.

- 1-inch ginger
- 8 carrots

Can I substitute something else for clementines
Hi Deborah, You could try tangerines, oranges or even kiwi as a substitute. Enjoy!
What a tasty juice recipe! The health benefits of beet juice are unbelievable, and from the research I’ve seen, it definitely can increase stamina during a workout. They say its due to the high nitrates in beet juice, which, literally, helps to lower the amount of oxygen that a person needs to breathe in while exercising. Since beet juice also lowers inflammation and lowers blood pressure, I love to include it in many of my juice recipes.
Such a good idea to make this a gatorade type replacement, and the vitamin C in those clementines will help the body to better absorb the iron in the beet juice. I really like this combination and will definitely have to let my taste buds try it out, too.
Cheers
