This has become my go-to juice when I am feeling a bit draggy. Beets support liver function. Ginger and lemon boost the immune system. Celery adds in natural potassium and sodium. Carrots for Vitamin A and apple for Vitamin C. Both of these last two also add sweet to balance the earthiness of the beet. I peel the carrots and apple only if they are not organic.

1 medium red beet, scrubbed and peeled

1 large carrot

1 large apple of your choice

1 thumb sized piece of ginger, peeled

1 stalk of organic celery washed and top and bottom trimmed

1/2 lemon, peeled, making sure you get all of the white pith off

Can also add in parsley and/or pear if you like.

After pushing all of them through the juicer, I take the pulp and push it back through. Then I add 1/4 cup of water to the machine to really get out all of the juice. If you are on a sodium restricted diet, omit the celery. WARNING: your urine and bowel movements maybe slightly reddish within the next 24 hours. No need to panic.
