Ingredients:
- 1 large beetroot, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 large apple, cored and chopped
- Optional: a small piece of ginger or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra zing
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash all the vegetables and fruits thoroughly. Peel the beetroot and carrots to remove any dirt and pesticides (if not using organic). Core the apple and cut into pieces that will easily fit through your juicer.
- Juicing: Place the chopped beetroot, carrots, and apple into your juicer. Add a small piece of ginger if you like a bit of spice, or a squeeze of lemon for some tanginess. Juice all the ingredients until smooth.
- Serving: Pour the juice into a glass and drink immediately to benefit from all the vitamins and enzymes. If you find the flavor too intense, you can dilute it with a little water or add some more apple to sweeten it.
- Storage: If you must store the juice, keep it in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume it within 24 hours to ensure the nutrients remain intact.
Health Benefits
Beets: Beetroots are a fantastic source of nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide. This compound helps to relax and dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Beets are also rich in iron, an essential element for the formation of hemoglobin which transports oxygen in the blood.
Carrots: Rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, carrots help maintain healthy skin, vision, and immune function. They are also good for the heart and circulation due to their antioxidant properties.
Apples: Apples are high in fiber and vitamin C. The soluble fiber in apples helps control blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar, and the fiber also assists in lowering blood cholesterol levels.
Optional Ginger: Adding ginger can enhance the juice’s flavor and provide additional anti-inflammatory and blood-circulating benefits.
Optional Lemon: Lemon adds a refreshing taste and vitamin C, which can help in the absorption of iron from the beetroot.
