Blood Orange Blueberry Beet Juice

Years ago I never would have thought I would be giddy over a pile of bright red and golden beets with the greens still in tact, but that was me at the store a couple days ago.  The beets have been so beautiful lately I can’t pass them up.  Juicing beets has been a great way for me to get all the nutritional benefits beets have to offer into my young girls.  They call the juices with beets lipstick juice, since it turns their little mouths and lips bright red.

I got a good kick out of this combination, it almost sounds like a fight scene – beets, blood oranges, blueberries, and grapefruit.  Beet, Blood, and Blues had to be the name!  It does pack a powerful punch of antioxidants, vitamin C, and more, so I guess the name is fitting.  Enjoy this beautiful, tasty, and powerful juice!

Blood Oranges:

• Contain more vitamin C than any other citrus, 130% the recommended daily amount per orange
• The only citrus that contains anthocyanin – a powerful pigment which gives them their deep red color.  Many studies show it may reduce inflammation and the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, boost your immune system, and provide protection from cataracts and macular degeneration.
