How to use beetroot powder: stir one scoop into a glass of water, or blend it into a smoothie, yogurt or another hot or cold recipe, once a day. That is exactly what the label for Daily Beets+™ directs: one 7.3 g scoop daily with 8 ounces of water or your favorite recipe. The berry flavor means you are not stuck with the earthy taste most people expect from beets.
Beetroot powder is one of the easiest ways to bring beets into a busy week, with no peeling, roasting or juicing. Here are six simple ways to take it, plus a few tips on mixing, timing and storage.
Key takeaways
- The Daily Beets+ label directs one 7.3 g scoop daily with 8 ounces of water or your favorite hot or cold recipe.
- Each scoop provides 4.5 g of beetroot powder with vitamin C and niacin, in a berry flavor sweetened with stevia.
- Cold liquids and a shaker bottle give the smoothest mix.
- Whichever way you mix it, taking it at the same time each day matters more than the recipe.
Meet Daily Beets+
Each scoop provides 4.5 g of beetroot powder with vitamin C and niacin, in a berry flavor sweetened with stevia. Per scoop, the label lists 50 mg of vitamin C (56% DV) and 16 mg NE of niacin (100% DV). The flavor comes from raspberry, passaberry and acai. Beets carry natural sugars; no sugar is added.
Daily Beets+ supports healthy blood flow and circulation and supports natural energy and endurance.* The 219 g tub holds 30 scoops, a 30-day supply, and it is caffeine-free, gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan.
How to use beetroot powder: six easy ways
- The classic glass. One scoop in 8 ounces of cold water, shaken or stirred well. This is the label's own suggestion and the quickest option.
- Sparkling. Stir the scoop into a little still water first, then top up with sparkling water for a berry spritzer.
- Smoothie. Blend one scoop with frozen berries, a banana and your choice of milk or yogurt. Beets and berries share the same deep color, so it looks as good as it tastes.
- Yogurt or overnight oats. Stir a scoop into plain yogurt or into oats the night before. The color turns everything pink.
- Warm mug. The label allows hot recipes, so you can stir a scoop into warm (not boiling) water for a cozy berry drink on cold mornings.
- Before training. Mix your scoop into a water bottle and take it to the gym or on a walk. Many people like to make it part of an active routine.
Tips for mixing beetroot powder smoothly
- Powder first, liquid second, then shake. A shaker bottle or a small whisk gives the smoothest result.
- Cold mixes best. Cold liquids and a shaker bottle give the smoothest mix.
- Use the scoop in the tub. It is sized for one serving, so there is no guessing.
- Rinse right away. Beet color washes off easily when it is fresh.
When is the best time to take beetroot powder?
The label sets no required time of day; it simply says once daily. Because Daily Beets+ is caffeine-free, it works in the morning, at lunch or in the afternoon. Many people who exercise like to take it a couple of hours before a workout, since beet research often looks at that window. Our article on what beetroot does for circulation explains the nitrate science behind that interest.
Choose one daily moment and keep it, because consistency matters more than the recipe. Attaching your scoop to something you already do, such as your morning coffee or packing your gym bag, makes it easy to remember.
Beetroot powder vs. capsules
Powder and capsules suit different people. Powder gives you a larger amount of beetroot per serving and doubles as a drink; capsules need no mixing and have no taste. If you would rather swallow than stir, Beetroot+™ provides beetroot root powder in capsules, taken once a day with food. Both are third-party tested, every batch, for purity and potency, and made in an NSF-certified, GMP-certified, FDA-registered U.S. facility. Learn how we test on our standards page.
Storage and safety
| Label item | Daily Beets+ |
|---|---|
| Serving size | 1 scoop (7.3 g) |
| Servings per tub | 30 |
| Suggested use | One scoop daily with 8 ounces of water or your favorite hot or cold recipe |

If you are pregnant, nursing, allergic, have a medical condition or take any medications, consult a doctor before using Daily Beets+ or any other dietary supplement. Keep the tub out of reach of children and do not use it if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Beets can turn urine or stools pink for a day or so, which is harmless.
