Vitality Beet & Ginger Juice
Earth's flavor in a glass. The raw beet's 'earthy' character (caused by geosmin) is harmonized by the sweetness of carrots and the acidity of apples. This juice is a nitrate bomb, converting to nitric oxide in the body to aid circulation—a favorite among athletes.

Instructions
1
✓
Peel the beets, carrots, and ginger. Core the apple.
Tip: Although the skin has vitamins, beet skin can add a bitter aftertaste, so it's better to peel it for juice.
2
✓
Cut the vegetables into pieces that fit your juicer's chute.
3
✓
Feed ingredients into the juicer, alternating hard and soft items: carrot, beet, ginger, apple, lemon.
Tip: Harder vegetables help push softer ones through. Juice the lemon last to wash through the flavors.

Stir and drink immediately.
Tip: Oxidation begins breaking down vitamins and browning the juice within minutes.
