Hey Loves !!
This week I’m officially on Day 9 of the wild rose herbal detox. This Detox has a recommended diet with a lot of restrictions. I added a lot of fresh veggie juices into the diet. One of my favourite juice combinations to prepare is Beet and Ginger. Beets have a beautiful deep red colour and depth of flavour.
Beetroots, commonly known as beets, are a popular root vegetable used in many dishes around the world. Beets have an impressive nutritional profile. They are low in calories and high in essential vitamins and minerals. They contain a good amount of almost all the vitamins and minerals that our bodies require. Beets contain a high concentration of nitrates, which lower blood pressure. Beets may have anti-inflammatory properties. Beets are a good source of fibre, which is beneficial for digestive health. Beets have a high water and low calorie content. Beetroot is a delicious and versatile vegetable that is easy to add to your diet.
How do you incorporate beets into your diet?
To make this Beet and Ginger juice it is very easy. Simply wash your beets and ginger VERY well.
You will need two beets
1 medium ginger root
and your favourite juicer.
I chop them into medium chunks and then juice them. After you have finished store in a Glass Pitcher and refrigerate.
One of my favourite ways to enjoy this juice is in a wine glass! LOL I also have been adding it to my smoothies which is amazing!!!
Now here is something I am working on this year in my effort to be less wasteful, what can I use Beet pulp from after juicing ? I was thinking maybe muffins or a veggie stock?
Any fun ideas? Comment down below… 🙂
