YOU can\u2019t beat beetroot \u2013 as research shows it could benefit your body and brain.<\/p>\n

It can even help you run faster because beets<\/a> are rich in nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, a compound that helps relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles.<\/p>\n

We test three beetroot products<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s packed with more antioxidants than tomato, carrot, orange and pineapple juice.<\/p>\n

Today, I test<\/a> three beet boosters.<\/p>\n

Each 60ml bottle has just 26 calories and 100 per cent of your reference intake of B6, which is great for regulating hormones.<\/p>\n

There is no added sugar.<\/p>\n

I would prefer if it was more beetroot and less apple, but I love these.<\/p>\n

I am sure they give me energy before a run.<\/p>\n

Cawston Press Brilliant Beetroot is 90 per cent beetroot juiceCredit: Supplied<\/p>\n

IT looks just like red wine when you pour it into a glass, but Cawston Press Brilliant Beetroot tastes much earthier than the shot.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because it is 90 per cent beetroot juice and just 9.9 per cent apple juice, with a little citric acid and vitamin C added.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t have that off-putting aroma which some vegetable juices have, and it is only 39 calories per 100ml, with eight per cent sugar.<\/p>\n

This is also a really versatile product \u2013 you could easily add it to soups, casseroles, shakes or pancakes for an extra vitamin hit.<\/p>\n

Plus, there is the added bonus of this juice being a long life product, so you can keep it stashed away in the store cupboard before you open it.<\/p>\n

Each 60g bar of BodyMe Beetroot Berry includes 16g of plant protein and is packed with nutrients, vitamins and mineralsCredit: Supplied<\/p>\n

BODYME Beetroot Berry Vegan Protein Bar contains protein powder blend (pea protein, sprouted brown rice protein, hemp protein) with cashews, coconut nectar, dates, goji berries, beetroot raspberry and coconut oil.<\/p>\n

And all of them are organic.<\/p>\n

There is not loads of beetroot in here, but this is a great snack bar.<\/p>\n

Each 60g bar includes 16g of plant protein and is packed with nutrients, vitamins<\/a> and minerals.<\/p>\n

No added sugar or sweeteners in here.<\/p>\n

There is 9.5g of fat, but that comes from nuts and coconut oil.<\/p>\n

I found these were a great pick-me-up to help beat my usual mid-afternoon energy slump \u2013 without the jittery crash that comes after a coffee hit.<\/p>\n
