Beet detox juice

I absolutely love this beet juice, not only because it is really fresh and tasty, but also because of the amazing health benefits found in beets: did you know that beets are rich in antioxidants, supports detoxification and helps cleanse the liver, has anti inflammatory properties, is high in vitamin k, betaine and calcium and it is also high in Nitrates which improve blood flow throughout the body – including the brain, heart, and muscles and it lowers blood pressure - beets are definitely a true superfood!

Ingredients:
1 large beet
6 carrots
1 apple
1 orange
Half a lemon (peeled)
A little ginger, about 1 cm

Directions:
  1. Just run it all through a juicer – if you do not have a juicer it is possible to do this with a blender and a nut milk cloth (or cheesecloth or something similar) to strain the pulp.
  2. I prefer to drink right away in order to preserve all the nutrients, enjoy! :)
