While I drank Mean Green every day, this was my go-to recipe when I just needed a change of pace. I have tried essentially every variation of the listed substitutions. The one thing that you need to know is to peel your beets. Unpeeled beets taste very close to the dirt you dig them out of. Trust me. By the end of 60 days, this juice tasted like candy to me. Give it a try. :)
This recipe will yield about 16 ounces of juice.
Get glowing skin with this beautiful juice rich in carotenoids, a family of more than 700 naturally-occurring yellow, red and orange pigments found in vegetables and fruits. A small study from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland showed the groups that consumed just 3 extra servings of carotenoid containing fruits and vegetables showed a small change in their skin tones and coloration that was enough to be perceived as more attractive to others in just 6 weeks. Here is more information on how fruits and vegetables can make us appear more attractive.
