BEET-licious

Doesn't this look Delicious!

This is my favorite mix right now. I especially love the color! This beautiful glass contains: spinach, (1) granny smith apple, (1) lemon, a piece of ginger, (2) carrots, (1) banana, (1) beet and a squirt of agave nectar. Mmmm......

What I'm learning about beets:
♥ Beetroot is a good source of vitamin A, manganese and potassium.
♥ The Beetroots green leafy tops are especially nutritious as they contain calcium, beta-carotene and iron.
♥ The juice of beetroots and the beetroot itself is heavy in anti-oxidants.
♥ a great liver cleanser.
♥ reduces high blood pressure.
♥ regenerates the cells of the immune system.
♥ purifies the blood and improve the circulation.
♥ It's ideal for alkalizing the system.
♥ Helps in maintaining cellular health.
♥ Known to be one of the most powerful vegetables, beets are responsible for causing both stools and urine to turn red and if this happens, don't be surprised.
♥ Beets are best used moderately in small amounts.
♥ Always remember to drink beetroot juice as a combination with either veggies or fruits. Having this juice by itself can temporarily paralyze your vocal chords, make you break out in hives, increase your heart rate, cause chills or a fever.
