The Red Goddess

Updated: Jul 23, 2019

Beetroot is a super food that helps to build stamina and regulate blood pressure, detoxifies the liver, boosts energy levels and helps prevent inflammation.


On top of that, pineapple is good for the heart, it also has inflammatory properties, it combats joint pain, and strengthens the bones.


All in all ideal for athletes, but you don’t need to be one to enjoy it! (See more of the health benefits below.)



Ingredients

  • Beetroot, 1 large or 2 small

  • Carrot, 1 large

  • Cucumber, 1/2

  • Fennel, 1 small bulb

  • Pineapple, about a 2cm slice

  • Orange, 1

  • Ginger, 1-2 cm






Instructions


I use a cold-pressed juicer, but you can of course use a regular juicer.


Chop all the ingredients in small chunks and put them in the juicer. I usually start off with part of the beetroot and finish off with the rest.
