Juice has become kind of a big deal in my life over the last four months. In fact, when we're away from home for a few days, Scott and I start to crave juice. We drink it daily or almost daily; sometimes I even use it as a meal replacement when I'm too lazy to make food. I use the Breville Compact juicer and I mostly juice green stuff like kale, cucumbers, and celery mixed with yummies like ginger, apple, and lemon. Sometimes I combine the juice with whole berries or spinach in my blender.
But then CSA season arrived.
For me, CSA season means an abundance of beets which I don't really care for. In fact, I still have some roasted, frozen ones in my freezer from last summer. But guess what? When you juice beets, they're awesome. Beets are nutrient-dense and their juice is a beautiful ruby color.
I have been known to drink juice that is the color of mud, but I prefer not to.
So today when I created this gorgeous concoction and realized that it was tasty, too, I knew I had to share it with you. It's the prettiest colored juice I've made so far, and it made me feel happy. Optimistic. Like I was seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.
Looks good!
