- Peel and finely grate about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger; set aside.

- Add beet chunks, grated ginger, lemon juice, filtered water, sea salt, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into a high-speed blender.

Notes
Use organic beets for the cleanest taste. Fresh ginger is preferred over ground ginger for best flavor. Drink the shot within 30 minutes for optimal freshness and nutrient potency. Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers for up to 2 days; avoid freezing. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup, or use agave/date syrup for vegan options. A splash of cold brew coffee can be added for caffeine.
