Beet Juice


Beet Juice

I have the Jack-la lane juicer, I got it as a present from my friend and I have been using it very often and would do a different combination's of juices.
There's saying "when you have a hammer , everything looks like a nail" similarly when you are juicing every vegetable and fruit becomes your victim. We bought beets and i was too lazy to cook them. I was a little hesitant of making beet juice, not sure of the taste of beet. So I juiced the following

Three beets
2 Apples
2 Tomatoes
a Big Pinch of Ginger
10 to 12 baby carrots
1 Lemon ( I am delightfully suprized that when I use a lemon in the juicer , I get a lot of juice).

One quick tip :
Whenever you are going to juice , take a plastic bag and cover the drainer with that , this will ensure that all the junk from the jucier will directly go into this. so that you can take this and just throw it.

So first add the beets and then the carrots ,apple,tomatoes ginger and lemon at the end.

When I first tasted it, I was stunned , it was amazing.

Health Benifits
Beet juice reduces Blood pressure
These colorful root vegetables contain powerful nutrient compounds that help protect against heart disease, birth defects and certain cancers, especially colon cancer.

Side effects
Beet is a very strong cleanser and it will be so visible , you will see the after effects when you go to the restroom , everything will be red. But drink a lot of water and this will dilute the after effects.
