Hey where are you going? Let’s learn something today:
The Power of Beetroot
Beetroot, with its vibrant tone and earthy flavour, might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a refreshing and nutritional juice. However, its natural benefits make it a secret weapon for Venturz like us. Packed with essential nutrients, Purple juice provides a burst of energy, helps with stamina, and keeps you hydrated - all crucial elements for a day out in nature, your routine exercises, or for a nice pump at the gym or even at work.
Beetroot is a rich source of diverse minerals such as potassium, sodium, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, and manganese. It brings to your Health several benefits including improvement in blood flow, development of exercise capacity, and improved heart health.
The Alkaline Kale
Yeah, is not the easiest ingredient to blend in your juice with a blend Stick, but it is so worth it that you will not regret it! Kale is one of the most nutritious green leafy vegetables out there and I think most of us are aware of that. Kale is super “stretchy” so not only for juices but also salads and dishes. That dark green colour makes the juice full of freshness and vitamins B12, vitamin C and K (no it doesn’t stand for Kale) is actually a very rare to find vitamin that is crucial to our health. It is also very, very rich in minerals and antioxidants. So, yeah add the kale.
Precious Cucumber Water
Also alkaline!!! Cucumber is rich in water and that's it! NAH!! Haha, the cucumber in this mixture is “THE POWER HYDRATION” [read this shaking your phone with a very low tone of voice] !!! Sorry I got excited, I went too far haha… back to cucumber that is actually very nutritious, remember that rare Vitamin K? Yes, cucumber is also rich in vitamin K and very Low in calories, making this fruit (I know, fruit? Yes, I was surprised too!) the best friend for weight loss and Hydration. Cucumber is a fruit from the same family as the watermelon and pumpkins, called Cucurbitaceae (scientific term) or cucurbits.

Lime or lemon? Lime
I love lime but you can use lemon instead😉
Why Lime? Well, lime is present in ancient natural remedy recipes for its properties and vitamin C, one recipe that most people know about is when you have a cold symptom or a sore throat, if you add into your tea a squeeze of lime and a spoonful of honey before bed you will feel a lot better the next day.
[Comment if you would like to know more about home and natural remedies.]
Lime is an antioxidant, helps our body absorb Iron from the beetroot, improves skin health, and it is also alkaline, isn’t that beautiful?! And if couldn't get better there are recent studies about Flavonoids in both Lime and Lemon with promising results in animal and Cells. When I get my hands on this Research I will definitely write about it here, so Stay with Us.
Ginger for Extra strength
With over 3000 years old in history, Ginger with it's anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant is one the best choices for natural remedies, ginger inhibits and reliefs nausea, cancer, inflammation, asthma. heart issues and so on, believe me the list is big. If you can, always add ginger to your recipes, juices or dishes. A small amount per day is all you need to keep your body free from infections and boost your white cells.
The Outdoor Boost
On the trail, by the river, or under the open sky, our Purple juice has been a game-changer for us. The nutrition is the main goal, don't get me wrong, but it's not only about that; it's about feeling amazing throughout the whole day. The energy from the beetroot keeps me going, the hydration from the cucumber satisfies my thirst, and the freshness of kale and lime invigorates my senses helping my body get rid of toxins and cleansing my digestive system. Giving our body the strength we need to go HARD on our Venturz!
Personalize Your Purple Juice:
The best part is, you can personalize this juice to suit your taste and needs. Adjust the ingredients to match your preferences - more beetroot for a stronger flavour, or extra apple for added sweetness. Make it your own and fuel your Venturz with pleasure and vitality. We can share more recipes, just let us know on the comments.
As outdoor enthusiasts, we know the importance of a nutritious start to the day. The Purple juice has become my go-to choice, ensuring that we are ready to conquer any trail, climb any peak, or paddle any river. Give it a try and experience the difference it can make in your outdoor adventures.
