Not that typical pasta with bolognese or tomato sauce. No, we are going for a different interpretation and opt for surprising ingredients, namely the combination of beetroot, carrot, cauliflower and tomato.
“But why for gods sake red beet?”
Beetroots are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and it also promotes your endurance.
Something that you as an athlete can certainly use in preparation for your long endurance training or competition.
Rosemary, oregano & balsamic vinegar provide the right flavour twist and a less earthy beetroot flavour (which is why this vegetable is not always popular).
Let yourself be surprised is the message here. But above all, get off to a good start for that training or competition with the right portion of fuel.That is why we opt for white pasta as a supplement to our carbohydrates and a meal that is low in fat, protein and fiber so that it is easily digestible.
