Whether you fast before training or have a meal, this pre-workout snack is perfect for those who do intense muscle work, as it eases the blood supply: ideal for those who do weights, machines, for those who do crossfit and bodybuilding, this special pre-workout shake contains a natural source of nitrates and vitamin C. Nitrates have been indicated by more than one study as the perfect substance to take before a workout because they improve resistance to exercise and reduce the risk of dehydration, and in nature they can easily be found in beets.

In association with vitamin C, the formation of nitrites in the intestine is prevented, and in this case we get a great result with a simple smoothie (for those who want centrifuged too) easy to digest, which can also allow us to skip the breakfast if we are practicing intermittent fasting or other forms of meal timing. Furthermore, the presence of strawberries (which can be replaced by currants or blueberries) allows us to fill up with ellagic acid and anthocyanins, which have a strong antioxidant effect and help prevent post-workout hormonal stress. Finally, the fibers contained in these vegetables stimulate the production of adiponectin, the famous fat-burning hormone. This is why making this pre-workout snack can significantly improve your sports performance.
The procedure is simple:
for two glasses of pre-workout smoothie you need:
2 peeled beets (even the pre-drenched ones, rinsed thoroughly under water)
a cup of strawberries (or blueberries or currants)
a carrot
1/4 cup of water
2-3 ice cubes.
