I've been a big fan of beetroot juice for some time (after listening to on of Michael Mosley's Just One Thing podcast). I don't like the taste either, but do like the benefit.

Between myself and some friends with played around with some other recipes and the best that we've come up is adding ginger cordial.


I thought of ginger from it's own beneficial effects. It's a real balance though as too much of the cordial results in what we term Ginger Burn!

I'm interested in your mix though as even with mine I struggle to make myself drink it daily and I know I should for various reasons.

Would you mind detailing your recipe more please?

I think your £11 must have been a deal as it's not that now...

I added Blackcurrant cordial today - definite improvement. Just need to find a low sugar one. Flavour is strong enough to mask over the earthy back-beet.

I meant to say that I tried heavily diluted beetroot with water. Totally gross. neat is better for my tastebuds (though not great) and it’s over quicker.

I’m not too worried about the sugar content of the ginger cordial I add - it’s not much going in.

Update for those on the Beetroot train.

I've started adding a generic brand electrolyte tab to the bottle ( just because I think for me its a good idea ) - the sodium ( not necessarily a bad thing ) definitely has changed the flavour somewhat - removes the earthyness even more.

Maybe of use to some.

A timely bump!

Tomorrow I’ve got some Moringa leaf turning up. Chatting to a friend and they’ve had good results from it. I had a listen to a Huberman lab pod that references to see what the view was there and because of that, I’m also adding omega 3 and vit D3.

What are the reported benefits of Moringa leaf ?

I usually take a multivitamin every day and a bit of Vitamin D, especially during the winter months. I also add fish oil to my routine for the omega-3s.

I , due to having some serious health issues ( at least to me.. ) succumbed and purchased a sunbed for a winter top up.
