Beetroot can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks, who cultivated beetroot and used the root as an offering to the Sun God Apollo in the temple of Delphi – they considered it to be worth its weight in silver! Today the juice is often used as a natural food colouring due to its vibrant colour and is an important part of Eastern European and Nordic cooking. Over the last few years, it has gained popularity with professional athletes who consume beetroot juice before competing. This latte mix combines beetroot juice powder with unrefined coconut nectar, a little raw cacao powder, and a touch of ginger to create a delicious alternative latte. Beetroots are one of the richest sources of glutamine, an amino acid essential to the health and maintenance of our gut. Beetroots have been ranked as one of the 10 most potent antioxidant vegetables due to their betalain content. Loved by athletes, beetroot may support exercise endurance and improve performance as their nitrate content helps to bring more oxygen to the muscle. Ginger is loaded with antioxidants, compounds that prevent stress and damage to your body’s DNA
