Do you feel the beet?

in , , , ,

I absolutely love Sunday mornings, because there is enough time to enjoy the morning without any rush and prepare a delicious breakfast. On Sundays I always use either my blender or my slow-juicer for preparing juices, smoothies, pancakes, açai bowls and much more. This Sunday I craved a fresh cold-pressed juice with beets, carrots, lemon and ginger. These root vegetables in combination with lemon make up a refreshing and energising juice.

Beet-Carrot-Ginger Juice

Ingredients
270g beetroots
300g carrots
1 lemon, peeled
8g ginger

Simply cut the beets, carrots and ginger. Peel the lemon with a knife and leave white layer which is very healthy. Add everything in your slow-juicer and juice everything.
Mix and enjoy!

This Beet-Carrot-Ginger Juice is not only naturally delicious – its ingredients mainly containing of root vegetables are very healthy as well: 

Beetroots: are not only beautiful in color, they're incredibly rich in nutrients especially in iron and calcium. Red beetroots have already been used for medical purposes in ancient times. Overall, they're very good for your liver and are well known for building red blood cells, purifying the blood and improving circulation.

Carrots: are best known for their high level of the cancer-fighting and immune-boosting antioxidant called beta-carotene. Additionally, carrots are also good in improving liver function, reducing inflammation and acidic blood conditions. 

Ginger: as the masterpieces of all roots are good for nearly everything and my go-to remedy when I don't feel very well. Ginger stimulates digestion, promotes circulation and warmth and is widely known as a remedy against nausea. 

Besides the juice I made a beautiful bowl of cacao-pear porridge topped with plenty of raw superfoods such as cacao nibs, desiccated coconut and freshly sliced pear. The recipe for the cacao-pear porridge is already on my blog and an adapted version of the Creamy Coconut-Chia-Porridge. It was so delicious and you should try it out as soon as possible!

I wish you all a relaxing and happy Sunday!

Lots of love, 
Fabienne.
