that the barista in Pret regularly warns me “it’s not good for your heart” when I order my daily triple-shot flat white at 8 a.m.
to kickstart my day.Suffice to say, since becoming pregnant and having to limit my caffeine allowance, I've been struggling.
Pre-pregnancy, I also fueled my day with nootropics, Diet Cokes, and anything caffeine-infused to get me through the day.
Now, with a toddler and job to contend with as well as self-diagnosed chronic fatigue, I've been desperately searching for a natural, caffeine-free energy boost.I stumbled across a “fatigue fighter” juice, which was basically beetroot with a splash of apple, orange, celery, and ginger, and I haven't looked back since.
I instantly felt my energy surge to pre-pregnancy levels; in fact, I was absolutely buzzing.
I used to drink a green juice on the daily and have always swerved beetroot in favor of leafy greens—but it turns out that the -approved beetroot, hailed as the “super root,” is a great way of sneaking in the nutritional benefits if you're unable to stomach the earthy aroma or inky texture of greener juices.Constantly keen to chase my first high, I found myself ordering my “fatigue fighter” beetroot juice every day.
Of course, if you're less lazy than me, or are on a tighter budget, you can make your own by washing one beet, chopping it into 4-8 pieces, and feeding them through a blender.
If you can't stomach the taste, which is a little earthy and sweet, you can add a splash of orange or celery juice.Sometimes I would down the entire bottle with my breakfast (though please note I didn't replace any meal with my juice because food is life); some days I would slowly sip the juice throughout the day.
