Recipe: The Morning Energizer (apple, carrot, beet and ginger, juicer)

THE MORNING ENERGIZER

1/2 Golden or Red Delicious organic apple, washed
5 medium carrots, scrubbed well, tops removed, ends trimmed
1/2 small beet with leaves and stems, scrubbed well
1/2 lemon, washed or peeled if not organic
1/2- to 1-inch piece ginger root, washed

Cut the apple into sections to fit your juicer's feed tube.

Juice the apple with the carrots, beet, lemon, and ginger. Stir the juice and pour into a glass.

Serve at room temperature or chilled, as desired.

Nutrisip: Beet juice is excellent to break the fast of the night before and cleanse the liver; beets have been used naturopathically to cleanse and support the liver for many years. Rich in vitamins and minerals that include beta carotene, zinc, vitamin C, and chromium (from the apple), it is no wonder this drink is especially energizing.
