Beets have been getting a lot of attention lately for their many health benefits. Hailed as a superfood, these crimson veggies are known to boost energy levels and are a huge source of antioxidants.
Naomi Le Bihan, co-owner of Calgary’s Cru Juice, says beets are recognized as a liver tonic that support detoxification and stimulate increased function of the liver cells. Plus, a daily dose of beets can help with anti-aging. In fact, she says, “beet and carrot juice combined could be a near-perfect combo for positive impact on the kidneys and gall bladder." For these reasons (and others) Cru makes its own beet juice blend called The Beet Box—grab one, or give this recipe a try using your home juicer:
2 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed
2 large carrots
1 inch fresh ginger root
1 Granny Smith apple
For a bit of a fibre/protein infusion, you can add an options tablespoon of chia, stir, and let soak for 5 minutes. —Sara Samson
