There are many ways to enjoy the vast nutritional benefits and delicious flavor of beets. Beet juice is jam-packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Although beets, apples, kale (or spinach), and fresh ginger are super stars in this recipe, including some fresh carrots and celery adds delicious flavor and nutrients to the mix.
Juicing raw beets is a fast and easy way to add nutrients to your body; however, it is important to juice responsibly. Beets, especially raw juiced beets, are powerful detoxifiers, so listen to how your body responds to beet juice and juice accordingly.
Save the beet greens to saute or add to smoothies, and the beet stems can be pickled as a delightful side dish.
Enjoy!
