Blackberry Beetroot Apple Juice
Blackberries, beetroot and apple in one dark, seasonal juice. Beetroot's nitrates support blood flow to the brain, which is why I reach for it when I need to focus.
Equipment
- 1 Juicer or blender and sieve
- 1 Budget cold press juicer a great value alternative
- 1 Budget blender a great value alternative
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen

Optional
- 1 inch ginger peeled, optional for a bit of warmth
Instructions
Juicer method

- Stir, pour over ice and serve straight away.
Blender method

Notes
Blackberries are in season from late summer and are free if you're near a hedgerow. Beetroot's nitrates are the point here, they help blood flow to the brain. Nutrition is an estimate per glass.
