Now that we are past the holidays, I have been trying to get back on track with eating a healthful diet. I am a sucker for sugar, and find myself craving it after eating so many holiday treats! I have been trying to detox off of sugar and caffeine, replacing sweets, treats & coffee with green smoothies & juicing.
One of my favorite juices for detoxing is Beet Rejuvenator. I really used to dislike beets, but the more I eat them, the more my palate adjusts. They are one of the most powerful, cleansing vegetables you could eat.
This juice is super cleansing and packs a punch of goodness! I’m surprised that it is one of my favorites despite the ‘my-not-so-favorite’ beets in it! The carrots help sweeten, and ginger + lemon always add a great flavor to any juice, and cucumber mellows everything out.
The Beet Rejuvenator
3-4 Carrots
1 Cucumber
1/2 Lemon
1 Ginger Root (1 inch piece)
1/2 Beet Root (including stem and 1-2 leaves)
Juice.

Need a juicer?
Breville compact is what I use and I love it!
