Beet juice is excellent liver cleanser; beets have been used naturopathically to cleanse and support the liver for many years. Rich in vitamins and minerals that include beta carotene, zinc, vitamin C, and chromium (from the apple), it is no wonder this drink is especially energizing.
Makes about 14 ounces
1 golden or red delicious apple, washed
5 medium carrots, scrubbed well, tops removed, ends trimmed
1 small beet with leaves and stems, scrubbed well
1/2 lemon, washed or peeled if not organic
1/2- to 1-inch piece ginger root, washed
Cut the apple and beet into sections to fit your juicer’s feed tube. Juice all ingredients, stir the juice and pour into a glass. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
