Nutristrength beetroot hummus
As well as tons of benefits, beetroots are known for enhancing athletes’ performance – particularly in endurance sports – thanks to their high levels of nitrates. You only have to google 'beetroot and sports performance' to bring up a wealth of studies and research. Performance aside, this nutrient-packed root's also great for lowering blood pressure, AND got itself two page spread in Women's Health this month. Tip: consume it an hour before you workout.
We've recently discovered Nutristrength's Pure Beet Powder, which is super convenient, and adds a badass colour to everything. Drumroll....there's a whole tub (worth £19) in The Quinn Box! Uh-huh, and if you haven't already, you can grab yours now! Add it to smoothies, juices, all kinds of protein bars – and make one of our favourite snacks: beetroot hummus.
