Ingredients:

• 1 organic beet – washed and skin peeled. Cut off the greens from the top, rinse, and also add

• 4 organic carrots – washed and peeled

I love this drink because it is sweet and provides so many added benefits.

Beets are a low calorie, nutrient dense powerhouse that can help improve your overall health. Beets may help lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and support brain health. Studies have also shown that beets can actually improve athletic performance. For more in depth information on health benefits of beets, try the link here

Ginger is great for gut health and with the turmeric both can help naturally reduce inflammation. Black pepper is also involved because it contains piperine which allows more turmeric compounds to remain in the body, so it can be helpful. But, the key is to allow the turmeric to absorb in the gut which is how you can really reap the benefits. If you drink juice and add turmeric or take turmeric capsules, it is recommended that you have it with a meal that is high in oils and fats. I would recommend this juice during breakfast with an egg and some avocado to maximize gut absorption.
