Healthy Week 2015: Beets Carrot Apple Ginger Juice

Update and Redux: C – This is one of my favorite juices when I want to be on a healthy kick. It’s sweet spicy and you really feel amazing after you drink it. Bring out the juicer and make this one. It’s a perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

C – The first time I made beet juice, I had a purple mustache all day.

I had no clue. No one told me until I went to visit my boyfriend. I went through meetings, the gas station and the grocery store. No one told me I had a purple mustache. How embarrassing!

I guess I need to look in the mirror a bit more often … or something.

Well, if I want to reap the benefit of drinking this great, delicious and healthy juice, I need to avoid getting a mustache, having pink teeth and tasting like beets. I think I can do that.

I love the taste of beet juice, especially this one. Usually, I use beets, carrots and ginger to make the juice. This time, I decided to soften it a little with some apples.
