This juice is ideal for either pre- or post-workout, or even both! The beetroot improves blood flow due to its iron content, in turn improving exercise performance. This makes it a great pre-workout drink! The magnesium content also relaxes the muscles whilst the blueberries accelerate recovery and reduced exercise induced inflammation. As these are both sweet in taste, spiking blood sugar, the cinnamon will regulate this.
