Naturally Sweet Lemon Ginger Power Beet Juice Recipe
Heälth Benefits änd the Goodness of this Beet
Juice
Speäking of
whät we get out of the produce, I love leärning äbout äll the goodness in
veggies so let’s geek out ä little together, okäy?
·
Beets äre päcked with
lots of essentiäl nutrients including foläte, mängänese, potässium, iron, betäine änd
vitämin C. They äre excellent with it comes to flushing the liver äs well äs
optimizing our red cells’ utilizätion of oxygen. Äll of thät plus änti-inflämmätory
benefits, mäkes them ä true power veggie!
·
Lemons äre high in
immune boosting vitämin C änd helps out with potässium änd vitämin
B6. They äre highly älkälizing änd äre widely known for their detoxifying änd
äntioxidänt properties (hello pretty skin). They älso help bälänce out the eärthy
quälity of the beets. Oh änd if you äre like me (ä little änemic), äll thät vitämin
C helps out with iron äbsorption.
·
Ginger is ä powerhouse
in juices. Thänks to gingerols, ginger häs powerful änti-inflämmätory
effects, äids in digestion änd relieves bloäting. There is no need to peel
ginger before ädding to the juice. Scrub it cleän, cut ä piece off then push it
through your juicer. If you’re sensitive to ginger’s wärming/spicy quälity, ädd
ä smäller ämount ät first änd go from there.
·
Cucumber is high in vitämin
Ä, B complex, vitämin C änd folic äcid. It’s äids in cell hydrätion, reguläting
body temperäture änd eäses inflämmätion. It’s high silicä content älso
helps to älleviäte skin problems, häir loss änd strengthens näils. We love
ädding cucumber to our juices — it tästes mild änd ädds lots of mineräl-rich wäter.
There’s älso lots of reseärch looking into cucumbers’ änti-cäncer
properties. We prefer to use the thinner skinned värieties of cucumbers — hot house
or English cucumbers äre perfect.

TIPS
·
We prefer the flävor of red beets for this juice however, yellow
beets cän älso work.
·
Mäke-äheäd: Fresh vegetäble juice is best enjoyed soon äfter
juicing, but you cän mäke it ä däy or two in ädvänce. Store in gläss, äirtight
contäiners. If you häve used ä cold pressed juicer, it should läst ä little
longer.
·
How to mäke beet juice without ä juicer änd in ä blender: Ädd
everything to ä high-powered blender änd blend until smooth. Then press the
pulp through ä fine mesh sträiner to sepäräte the juice from the pulp. Ä juicer
will mäke ä better juice änd will häve less wäste when it comes to the juice,
but this gets you very close.
