Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Beet, apple and carrot pre-workout juice

A deeply colored juice, made for before a workout.

Rico's note: Drink it before your toughest leg days, about two hours ahead, so you're not training on a full stomach.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium raw beet (100 g / 3½ oz)
  • 2 red apples (300 g / 10½ oz)
  • 2 carrots (120 g / 4 oz)
  • ½ lemon, juice only (15 g / ½ oz)
  • 1 small piece fresh ginger (5 g)
  • water, as needed — only if blending instead of juicing

Method

  1. Wash the beet well, peel it and cut it into small pieces.
  2. Run the beet, apples, carrots and ginger through the juicer, or blend everything with a little water and strain.
