Fullyraw Beet Juice

Hello everyone, I would like to thank you for reading my posts and following my blog. Please feel free to comment and share with your friends and family.


Today for breakfast, I made beet/greens/apple juice. It was delicious and sweet because I used red apples ;)
I am not going to lie, I do like my juices and smoothies sweet ;)
I used two beets, two apples, a bunch of parsley, a bunch of spinach, 1/2 lemon and 2 sticks of celery. 
Beets:
Beets are sweet vegetables that are energetically grounding because they are root vegetables.  Sweet vegetables are helpful in soothing the internal organs of the body and serve as mind energizer.  Adding in sweet vegetables may help satisfy your need for sugar , hence reducing the not so healthy sugary foods.  
Celery/Spinach/Parsley:
Many people fail to incorporate green vegetables in their lifestyle/diet.  Adding dark, leafy greens helps the body establish a strong immune system.  
Greens  strengthen the blood and respiratory system. Leafy green vegetables are also high-alkaline foods.   In Traditional Chinese medicine, green is related to the liver, emotional stability, and creativity. Greens are high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and vitamins A, C, E, and K.  They are loaded with fiber, folic acid, chlorophyll, and many other micronutrients and phytochemicals. 
Some of the benefits of adding dark greens to your daily food consumption are:
Blood purification, Cancer prevention ,  Improved circulation , Strengthened immune system , Promotion of healthy intestinal flora,  Promotion of subtle, light, and flexible energy ,  Improved liver, gall bladder, and kidney function , Cleared congestion, especially in lungs by reducing mucus.
Apples:
"One apple a day keeps the doctor away." Apples are high in antioxidants and fiber, hence many health benefits such as protecting against Parkinson's, reducing cholesterol, healthier heart, controlling weight, detoxifying liver, boosting the immune system and many more.
Lemons:
Lemons are highly alkaline, contain many antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.  They are good for hair care, skin care, boosting the immune system among others.

This juice is delicious and packed with goodness, isn't it better to consume that for breakfast and feel light, versus having a bagel and cream cheese and feeling so heavy at 8:00 AM in the morning.
Who wants to feel energized and ready to take on the day? I know I am ;)

Now it is your turn to tell me what you like to have for breakfast and why?
