Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I am home from work in a snowstorm! Woohoo!! Literally everything around us is closed down. As I was thinking of what to do at home, one of the things that came to mind was to make beet juice! I have been wanting to make this recently as there are so many health benefits. Juicing is one of those things that typically takes me a while so I can’t do it all that often but when I do, I try to make enough for a few days and store it in mason jars.
Beets are one of the richest dietary sources of antioxidants. A few of their amazing benefits are that they lower blood pressure, increase stamina, fight inflammation, and are an amazing source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B. Beets help cleanse the body and are also known to fight cancer. If you don’t already include beets in your diet, you should definitely consider as they contain so many health boosting nutrients that you may not be getting anywhere else!
In this recipe I included an apple which I did not use but have in the past and it gives the juice a much sweeter flavor. I personally try to stay away from adding sugar in my juices and would rather eat an apple so I eliminated it ;).
Ingredients:
12 baby carrots, or 4 large
3 beats
3/4″ cube of ginger
1 Granny Smith apple (optional)
Directions:
Process carrots, beets, apple, and ginger through juicer and enjoy!
