Sweet September Juice
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
Summer produce is vibrant and fresh but sadly the season is winding down in many regions. I love fresh juice and I’m often looking for a great tasting veggie-heavy option. This mostly-veggie (lime is the only fruit!) gem is full of health promoting antioxidants in the carotene family thanks to the red pepper and carrots. Lime not only adds a great flavor but phytonutrients with metabolism and immune supporting actions, like vitamin C, limonoids and even has some calcium. Enjoy while you still have access to these seasonal veggies.
