Let’s start juicing!
So I’m finally reacting to many requests from my ever so demanding customers and as such I have decided to occasionally blog about different types of juices I’m rewarding myself with to stay healthy and fit (perhaps some recipe ideas in the future also)!
Here is my BEETROOT STRAWBERRY HEAVEN! Overall I am super happy with the taste of this beautiful juice. Just a right amount of beetroot so it won’t take over your tastebuds and a tad of strawberries to add a bit of sweetness.
1 medium size beetroot
5 strawberries
4 small apples
1 carrot
1 lemon
1 small piece of ginger
