What our dietitian says
This little number packs a punch when it comes to the nutrition and health benefits.
Pretty in pink, but don't be fooled. Beets are known amongst athletes in pursuit of the tiniest edge for their performance boosting effects. But the benefits are actually amplified for the day-to-day health/fitness enthusiast – think improved blood flow and faster recovery for greater fitness and strength gains. Beetroot combines with ground ginger and cinnamon for a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and nutrient rich start to the day. With subtle earthy undertones and delicious creaminess from the oats, this really is a pretty winner.

What's so good about Beetroot?
Beetroot has been a performance secret of the sports world for some time - but the truth is that everyone can reap these benefits. Beets are high in nitrates, which are converted to nitric oxide and work to open blood vessels to allow more blood and oxygen to be delivered to working muscles. For athletes, this can mean a reduction in muscular fatigue, and for regular fitness enthusiasts, can fast track improvements in strength, fitness and speed.
Beetroot contains key nutrients such as vitamin C, folate and potassium, have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant health properties, and have been shown in research to lower blood pressure.
