Celery, Beet and Carrot JuiceCelery, Beet and Carrot Juice
If you are not into healthy eating, this drink probably might be a source of nightmares...it contains everything that "normal" people hate such as celery and beets (just add Brussel sprouts to complete the horror!!!). As you might have guessed I am very much into healthy eating and I love this juice. Beets (beetroots) are packed with iron, folic acid and antioxidants and the carrots contain vitamin A (Beta Carotene) and B1, B3, B6, folic acid and potassium. The celery aids the absorption of iron since it contains vitamin C (and K). It also contains the compound phalides which is supposed to lower the bad cholesterol and fight against certain types of cancer. This drink contains so much iron that if Dracula had been a vegetarian, he probably would have ordered this juice in a juice bar!!!
You will need a juicer to make this juice.
