Beetroot and Ginger Elixir - Vegan recipe hero image

Whenever I make this Beetroot and Ginger Elixir, I’m reminded of my grandmother’s garden, where the beets were as bright as a sunset.

The earthy sweetness of the beets combined with the zing of fresh ginger just feels like a warm hug for my insides.

Plus, there's something so satisfying about creating a nourishing drink from simple, whole ingredients.

Trust me; it’s a delightful way to start your day or enjoy a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using fresh beetroot for its earthy flavor and vibrant color. If you can’t find beetroot, you could use beet juice instead, but I find the fresh root gives a more robust flavor. And ginger? It’s not just great for flavor; it’s also fantastic for digestion!

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep my elixir in a glass jar; it stays fresh for a few days and looks so pretty on my kitchen shelf.
  • If you find the elixir a bit too earthy, a splash of orange juice can brighten it up beautifully.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick!
  • You could swap out lemon juice for lime juice for a different citrusy twist.

Storage & Freezing

This elixir can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just remember to shake it well before you pour yourself another glass!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the elixir, store it in the fridge, and enjoy it cold. Just give it a good shake before serving.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by peeling and chopping the beetroot into cubes. This makes it easier to blend.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, add the chopped beetroot, grated ginger, and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This helps extract all those lovely flavors.

  4. 4

    After simmering, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

  5. 5

    Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a thinner elixir, feel free to strain it through a fine mesh sieve.

  6. 6

    Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and maple syrup if you're using it.

  7. 7

    Pour into glasses, garnish with mint leaves, and enjoy your vibrant elixir!
