Introduction
Collagen is the key to youthful skin, strong nails, and healthy joints — but did you know that certain natural foods can help boost your body’s collagen production? One of the most surprising superstars in this area is beetroot. Packed with antioxidants, nitrates, and essential vitamins, beetroot works wonders when consumed regularly — especially at night, when your body goes into repair mode. This simple recipe combines beetroot with other collagen-friendly ingredients to create a soothing, nourishing nighttime drink that will leave you glowing.
Ingredients:
1 medium beetroot, peeled and chopped
1/2 inch fresh ginger (optional, for added anti-inflammatory benefits)
1/2 cup pomegranate juice (rich in vitamin C and antioxidants)
1 tsp collagen powder (optional, for an extra boost)
1 tsp honey (preferably raw)
1/2 cup warm water
Juice of 1/2 lemon (vitamin C helps collagen synthesis)
Directions:
Steam or boil the beetroot chunks for 10-12 minutes, until soft.
Let the beetroot cool slightly, then transfer to a blender.
Add the ginger, pomegranate juice, warm water, lemon juice, and honey.
Blend until smooth. If using collagen powder, add it after blending and stir gently to preserve its structure.
Pour into a glass and sip slowly before bed.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve warm or at room temperature for a calming effect before sleep.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before drinking again — don’t boil, especially if it contains collagen powder.
