Roast beet hummus to boost your stamina

Did you know that there’s more to beets than just adding sweetness to your meals? Drinking beetroot juice will not only benefit you in the bedroom, but during your gym time too? According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology in 2010, researchers found out that drinking beet juice balances the oxygen use that allows your body to tap in on your energy and stamina wisely. The reason for this is because the nitrates found in beet juices make it easier for oxygen to get into your muscles and allow you to breathe.

Since beets have the ability to open up the blood vessels and allow more oxygen flow to boost blood being pumped in your entire organs, you can get rock-solid erections, a benefit to both of you!

Roast beet hummus

The beets in this recipe have an incredible colour and flavour that's enough to pep anyone up. Add it to sandwiches instead of butter or mayonnaise, use it as a dip for crackers and vegetable sticks, or simply serve it as a gorgeous appetizer.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can butter beans
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup roasted beets, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper
• Paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

METHOD

Put all ingredients (except olive oil), in a food processor, adding salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. With the food processor still running, drizzle in olive oil and blend until well combined.

If you want a smoother texture, add a bit of water. For more flavour, add more spices.

Note: To roast beets, place on a baking sheet or wrap in aluminium foil and bake in a 180-degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove and once cool, peel off skins and chop into chunks.
