Red Velvet Cupcake as a Juice
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
I created a red velvet smoothie a while back and thought it was only fair to make a red velvet juice, so here it is! The juice offers amazing nutrients found in beets, apples and carrots with the addition of the cacao. High in nitrate which is excellent for physical endurance, betaine which supports healthy liver function and nutrients such as folate, beta-carotenoids, potassium and manganese, this juice has everything. Beets and carrots are also rich in nutrients that support a healthy suntan glow.
