Liver Cleansing Beet Juice!

                                  First thing's first:




           This is what a real kitchen counter should look like!   :)





                                                              -------------







                         This beet juice recipe is one for the books.

                              So tasty and so beneficial for the system.



                      Why is beet juice so good for us?








~Beets are commonly known as a blood purifier. Blood is the 'river of life'- so be kind to your blood! Drinking beet juice during menstruation is a wonderful idea for women.

~Beets improve red blood cell production and increase the level of haemoglobin in our blood.

~Beet juice is a wonderful liver cleanser (dandelion green juice is also a powerful liver cleanser)! We don't want dirty livers. Remember, everything we eat and drink has to be processed by the liver. I always like to call the liver our "grandaddy" organ. It is extremely important and not to be taken for granted. 

~Beet juice is known to lower blood pressure.

~Antioxidants such as flavonoids and carotenoids are also in beets. 

*Don't forget to juice the beetroots*

~ The beetroots contain a nutrient that is called nitrates, which is a blood vessel relaxer and improves blood flow.

~The beetroots are high in folic acid and manganese. They contain vitamin A, C, and K. They are also high in iron. Calcium, potassium, sulphur, and silica are also inside these wonderful beetroots. 

~Nutrients in beets protect against cancer and disease. 




...I'll drink to that!

                            Let's get started on the juice!





Ingredients:




*Organic*

-2 bunches of celery
-3 Beets
-4 Apples

Chop up the ingredients in small enough pieces for your juicer.


So pretty.


Ohhh yeah!



I juiced the celery first and then poured it in my pitcher.


Beet juice is so colorful! 
A truly natural food coloring!

You can even take a slice of beet and rub it on your lips for lipstick or on your cheeks as blush! :)



When you're done juicing, I pour into a pitcher.


Then pour into mason jars and seal with a lid.


This recipe made enough for three 16 oz. jars.




                 Drink up and get ready for that healthy glow!
