Notes
We love to make this recipe in bulk because it saves us time throughout the week.
We have found that the keeping this juice in the refrigerated, it can have a total shelf of up to 1 week! So, you can space out your servings throughout the week, depending on what your normal workout routine looks like.
If you do not want to commit to so much beet juice, feel free to split our recipe in half and you will end up with 2 servings instead of four! The recipe is a perfect way to also share with your friends or family.
P.S. We definitely do not recommend that you drink more than the serving size of 1 cup.
