If you follow me on Facebook, you’d know that I’m currently doing a 7-day juice cleanse. Around every New Year, I always do something to honor my body a little more and it’s been a while since I’ve used juices to do so. Since I’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding juicing and detox I felt a juice cleanse was calling me. So for the next 7 days, I’ll be drinking vibrantly fresh juices and coming up with simple yet satisfying recipes for you to enjoy.
Pretty In Pink Beet Juice
In the spirit of juicing, I thought to share this recipe, as this is one of my favorites. Why you ask? Because it has one of my favorite ingredients to add to any juice recipe… Beets! Yes, they pretty much go well with any juice and they are super healthy for you. I do enjoy beets in other forms, but my favorite is to add them to my juice.
This juice recipe is sweet and refreshing, and the color is just so pretty, which is why the name fits it so well.
