Wake Up with Beet Juice

Now that I am done with my Whole30, I have begun to juice again daily.  I love juicing.  There is nothing more refreshing then a crisp glass of fresh squeeze juice and one of my favorite ways to start my morning is with beet juice.

Did you know beets are a superfood?  Yep!  Like kale, blueberries, and other superfoods beets are packed with nutrient compounds that help protect against heart disease, birth defects and certain cancers, specifically colon cancer. (That one is close to my heart as you may or may not know I lost my step-mother a little over a year ago to colon cancer.)

Health benefits of beets include:

• Rich in antioxidants
• Cancer fighting properties
• High in anti-inflammatory compounds. (I love beet juice for my headaches…)
• Helps to rid the body of toxins
• High in fiber

There are lots of ways you can juice beets.  After tinkering in the kitchen for a while I came up with my personal favorite beet juice recipe:

Ingredients

• 2 Sweet Apples
• 4-6 Celery Stalks
• 1 Beet (quartered)

• 1 Lemon
• Small Chunk Ginger - optional*
• ¼ cup water - optional**

Notes

* Ginger is great, but adds spice to your juice. If your kids are drinking it, you may want to skip the ginger, or introduce it slowly.
** I like to run ¼ cup cold water through my juicer at the end to flush out any remaining juice. Depending on your particular juicer this is optional.
