Since it’s the first day of February, aka LoVe & heart health month, what better recipe to feature than our Red Love Your Body Juice? Aka a delicious beet juice recipe! This recipe gets its vibrant color from the beets in it and tastes delicious if you are a juice lover. If this is your first venture into juicing, it may take a little getting used to. I just started juicing about a year and a half ago and now try to incorporate a juice into my week at least 1-2 times. It’s a great way to get a HUGE serving of veggies or fruits on a day when you wouldn’t get as much as you need without drinking it. Many of you know I did a cleanse a while back so the first time I made this, it was part of that cleanse. We made this juice and the green juice I’ve shared on the blog before. Luckily, one of my friends, Erin, has a juicer and ever so generously let me take advantage of it. It was the first time I’d ever seen someone make a whole juice instead of just getting it from Whole Foods (only $4.99 for a 16 oz juice, score!) or The Pantry (If you live in B’ham, you MUST check out their delicious foods, goat cheese and juices! I’m obsessed.). In fact this recipe is inspired by The Pantry. You can see all the ingredients for this juice below…
Look at all that yummy freshness! This made enough juice for Erin and I to both have 2 servings or 2 of the mason jars pictured above. Here’s the recipe so you can make some delicious beet juice as well. Love Your Body Juice: Ingredients: 3 Beets (stems removed) 2 Lemons 2 Granny Smith Apples 1 1/2 inches Ginger 8 oz Coconut Water Directions: Peel lemons, deseed the apples, and quarter beets and all ingredients until they are small enough to send through juicer. Let the juicer work its magic on each ingredient, pour in coconut water in finished product and mix well. Enjoy your chilled juice. Drink it within a few days for the best taste and freshness. *Bonus tip, line the “discard section” of your juicer with a plastic grocery bag to make clean up easier! 
This looks great…great ingredients! I have to try this soon. Thanks for sharing!
I am going to try this… just need to find some coconut water. Pinning.
Yum!! This one sounds great. I pinned it to get back to later – – we finally bought a juicer for us for Christmas and so far have used it a few times, I need better things to put the juice in so my husband can easily take it to work in the morning & be able to shake it!
This looks really cool 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

You got it! I know…I love the color.
I love the use of coconut water in this! I like to add that to smoothies for the extra potassium.
Looks delicious! I need to get more into juicing.
I woulda never thought to try that. Sounds interesting.
This would be a great way to get beets in…I am not a fan and afraid of them. Haha
I have been afraid of trying a juicing recipe with beets, I’ll be giving this recipe a go.
Yum! I absolutely love adding green apples to my juices, such great flavor!
I love juicing and making fruit smoothies. I did try it with beets a few times and I could always detect the taste which to me wasn’t great. I haven’t really tried it again despite the health benefits. This looks good though.
