juicy couture

...no, not the passe jump suits! The real deal. 

Juice is the new coffee....except with health benefits. For people on the go, or just people in general, juice is an excellent way to consume your daily dose of veggies and fruits. 

I've tried juicing everything... cucumbers, kale, spinach, apples, carrots, beets, beet greens, oh my! And the fun doesn't stop there - you can blend these juices with frozen yogurt for a store-bought-smoothie taste, or freeze the juices in popsicle molds for quick, healthy desserts. When making carrot juice, the leftover pulp can be added to carrot pancakes, carrot muffins, carrot...cake. 

My favorite produce comes from the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market. Rows of fresh, beautiful, colorful fruits, veggies, flowers, treats - it's hard not to take one of each! 

This time I bought carrots and beets. My fave. The beautiful thing is that you can add the beet greens to the juice as well. They are packed with nutrients and produce this deep burgundy juice. For a little sweetness, I added an apple. One bunch of carrots, one beet, a few beet greens and half an apple were enough for 2-3 drinks. 

Enjoy!
