carrot, beet, orange & ginger juice

Adding a prepared vegetable juice to your day can not only add an abundance of vitamins, anti-oxidants & minerals to your diet but juices can help to hydrate you, especially first thing in the morning, & your body can absorb the nutrients from juice quickly & efficiently. Juicing also helps with inflammation & can increase the nitric oxide in your blood helping high blood pressure – so some studies say. Carrot, Beet, Orange & Ginger Juice tastes quite pleasant (thank you orange) compared to other juice I make. Recently I’ve taken to making a large batch of juice, something I would never do before because the nutrients don’t stay as potent when made ahead, but, as with fruits & vegetables when frozen, they retain much of their nutrients. The same goes for freezing freshly made juice. I thaw the juice in the fridge & enjoy it icy cold.

I know there are people who sip on juice (like it’s a cocktail); I am not one of those people – truth be told I don’t sip on cocktails either. When it comes to getting a juice into me, it goes down quickly. Not ideal but it works. Although, this juice isn’t too bad. As long as you go easy on the ginger otherwise it will be punchy. I will leave you with this thought…Beets can really give your system a good clean-out & can turn your pee & poop crimson, so don’t be alarmed.
