Salutations Steemit Friends!
So, lately I've been trying my best to get more healthy fruits and veggies into my daily diet. As a result, I've been on a bit of a homemade juice kick!
I digress, despite making an effort to consume more veggies, I have a sweet spot for more fruity and tropical tasting juices. After testing different recipes, I've found that this BEET-iful Juice is just that!
It tastes super fruity (pineapple, orange and apple) despite including root and stem veggies (beets, carrots and ginger) and a touch of greens (kale).
I like to think of this beet red beverage as more than just a juice... It's a highly prized and coveted beauty elixir in a glass!
Or rather, a mason jar...
It's packed with vitamins A, C, B-1, B-9 (folate) & K, as well as minerals like iron, magnesium and potassium.
Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain which has terrific anti-inflammatory (anti-swelling) properties. The beta-carotene and lutein found in carrots are known to give your eyes and skin more sparkle and glow!
