A Vampire’s Favorite Juice
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
All in the Halloween theme (it’s only 5 days away so you better have your costumes ready!), I have made a super antioxidant nutrient dense juice that’s got a perfect combination of sweet, sour and hot with a beautiful glowing red color. I love everything in the citrus family and these blood oranges are quite a beauty. They have the added antioxidants called anthocyanins which gives it, its rich red colour. The chili also adds a spicy element, this juice is sure to warm you up and scare any colds or bugs away.
