It has been linked with lowering blood pressure, boosting your stamina, fighting inflammation, and supporting your detoxification process. I’m a juice lover, and we have this habit at home of drinking fresh juice every single morning. My fridge is stocked with fresh fruit and veggies, mostly for juicing purposes. This tradition started when Rocco started to dislike vegetables, say what? Yes, a very common trend amongst toddlers around the age of two, do I hear the terrible two?

Serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized beetroot, chopped in large chunks of 2 cm
- 1 large carrot, chopped in large chunks of 2 cm
- 3 apples, chopped
- thumb size fresh ginger
Directions
If you have a slow juicer, you will get the deep flavors of the vegetables and fruit. However, if you use a regular blender, you still get the juice to have to separate the pulp yourself using a nutbag/juice bag.
Use what options works best for you now with the kitchen appliances you have.
Wash and chop all your vegetables and fruits and if they are organic, you can leave the skin on.
Start juicing in a juicer or blend everything with 2 cups of water in a blender and use a nutbag or cheesecloth to separate the pulp from the juice.
Both ways will get you beautiful red beetroot juice to give your liver and kidneys a good cleanse.
