Happy Valentines Day

Valentines Love Juice

Beets- 1 medium sized 

Carrots- 5 medium

Ginger- 2 inch knob

Oranges- 4 small or 2 large



    I love juicing Carrots, Oranges and Ginger! Today I added Beets for a little color, and that earthy and rich flavor profile that they lend. This recipe serves 1 or 2 depending on your personal reasons for juicing. Adjust the oranges for your desired sweetness, and if you're afraid of the beets, just try a small one at first. They may surprise you... just be careful... they stain! 


    I plunge this juice with the Beets first, then put the Carrots and the Ginger in together and plunge the Oranges last as they are the juiciest and rinse all the flavor right into your cup. I usually drink my fresh juice in the mornings, but when juicing root vegetables, especially beets, I tend to drink them later in the morning after breakfast. Beets can tend to upset my empty stomach, as they are so rich. 

Happy Valentines Day!
Make some juice for someone you love!
