This is my latest morning squeeze.
Besides all its aphrodisiac qualities, this juice is simply the perfect energizing, detoxifying and immunity-boosting tonic for ANY day, particularly during these cold-weather months.
The ingredients are seasonal, both in the sense that most are sweet, fall-harvest favorites AND because this jewel-toned juice happens to be aesthetically and functionally matched with our annual love day! It’s so vibrantly hued and filled to the rim with sexy ingredients.
I Heart Beet Juice
Adapted from: The Big Book of Juices
Makes 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 beets *
- 2 carrots
- 1 apple
- 1 orange**
- 1 celery stalk
- ½ - 1-inch piece ginger root
Directions
Put each ingredient in the order listed into your electric juicer according to the manufacturer’s directions.
*If you have a few beet greens (leaves) attached to your beets, feel free to juice them as well. This will result in a darker, more vegetal-flavored juice.
**Unless your orange skin is very thin, you will need to remove it and only juice the flesh.
Juicing tip: always juice your stringy, fibrous ingredients (like celery and ginger) last so they won’t accumulate inside your juicer and prevent the other ingredients from passing through properly.
