How To Make Juice For Pre Ride Energizing - GCN's Food For Cycling

Clock00:00, Saturday 2nd November 2013

Juices are a great way to get all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals in fruit and veg without all the bulk. Here's how we make one of our favourites.

Juices mean that you can still eat a good carb heavy breakfast before a ride yet still take on board a load of goodness from fruit and vegetables. To make this particular juice, you will need:

2 medium-sized beetroots (beets for our american friends) (top and root removed)
2 medium-sized carrots (tops removed)
2 stalks celery
1 small piece of Ginger
1 apple
1 lemon
1/2 cucumber

To make, simply pop all the ingredients into the juicer, adding the stronger flavours first. Add in lemon to taste at the end - though we find that you'll pretty much always need a whole one.
