Beet Detox Juice
If you live in the United States like me, yesterday was Thanksgiving; a time when most people eat their weight in stuffing and gravy. After all that heavy holiday food, I'm guessing that some of you might need a break. At the very least, maybe your digestive system does? I have just the thing: my favorite beet detox juice.
I'm a big fan of fresh vegetable juices and I always notice a huge difference in my body when I juice regularly. (If you're new to juicing, check out my vegetable juice tutorial.) I'm not one of those people who advocate extreme juice fasts, but I think there are a lot of benefits to adding juice to a healthy diet.
This detox juice is one of my favorites because it's naturally sweet, even without adding fruits to the juice. If I've had a big dinner the night before, I like to start my day with a glass of water and then drink this juice before my morning smoothie. Beets are loaded with iron, antioxidants, and a cancer-fighting agent called betacyanin (the pigment that is responsible for its purple-red color), making this juice a powerful blood cleanser. Drink up!
