Beet Greens and Grapefruit Juice — Grapefruit Beet Juice Recipe

It is always a good idea to start your day off with a super healthy drink. That is why so many people like to have a glass of fresh juice in the morning. Somehow, along the way, orange juice became the king of breakfast juices. While orange juice is quite delicious (I also enjoy a glass in the morning every now and then!), it isn’t always the healthiest option. Many store bought orange juices have added preservative and sugars that you really don’t need. So, why not try something new? Why not give beet greens and grapefruit juice a try?

Beet Greens and Grapefruit Juice 1 — Grapefruit Juice Recipe

Many people throw away the leafy greens attached to their beets but this is a huge mistake! Beet greens are full of essential nutrients that can help support your immune system and even strengthen your bones. Beet greens are an excellent source of potassium too, a mineral that is vital to your heart and digestive system. Those leafy greens are quite the super food.

Or course, we use the real red beets as well. The sweet flavor of beets is unbeatable and they are also quite healthy. When pressed through that juicer, the brilliant red color will pour right into your glass giving you a beautiful drink. Add in a little fresh grapefruit juice for some vitamin C, a splash of vanilla for flavor and a touch of honey for taste and you will have a super healthy, super tasty morning drink. Your mornings will never be the same!
