If it makes me run further...

Beetroot juice has been shown to increase stamina in athletes so I'm going to try it out (with an added anti-inflammatory boost of ginger). Try this beetroot and ginger shot every day and see if it boosts your performance.

Ingredients:
One large raw beetroot
1/2 inch ginger, peeled
Squeeze of lemon

Juice the beetroot and ginger and then add a splash of water and lemon juice. Stir and enjoy!

A shot of stamina

Afternoon pick-me up juice

You know what it's like, you get to 3.30pm and crave a sugary, caffeine-hit. But instead try this zingy, antioxidant packed, metabolism boosting, energy lifting jar of good health!

Ingredients:
1/2 cucumber
1inch ginger
1 small apple
2 sticks of celery
1 large handful of spinach

Put all ingredients in your juicer and enjoy!

If you don't have a juicer, halve the quantities
and blitz in your blender with half a cup of water.
