purple antioxidant juice

May 28, 2019 by Lovoni | Leave a Comment

Purple antioxidant juice made from beets, red cabbage, carrots, blueberries & red grapes, is a powerful juice that can aid in giving you a bit of a clean-out & help with overall health. I don’t suggest this juice to newbie juicers because of its antioxidant properties. But it’s a good juice & one I will turn to from time to time, especially after being sick, taking cold & flu medications &/or antibiotics.

Truth be told, I prefer to eat beets than drink their juice but because I know of the power of beet juice, I drink it anyway. For me, juicing isn’t about sipping on a yummy drink – this isn’t a cocktail. Juicing is about obtaining better health through consuming a generous quantity of nutrients from fruits & vegetables without the fiber that your body needs to digest. Instead, the nutrients are absorb easily from juice. And when I say “juice” I mean, juice obtained from using a juice extractor made fresh everyday. And not juice sold in a grocery store. That’s been subjected to heat treatment to preserve it abolishing so much of its goodness. Vitamins, especially vitamin C, are destroyed by heat, so if you’re going to commit to juicing, you’re going to have to invest in a juice extractor & take the 10 to 15 minutes each time you juice to wash your produce, juice the produce then clean your juicer. It’s no more time than making a meal & with practice, you get faster at the process. I juice each morning. It becomes a routine I guess, some days I really have to force myself – like exercising – you feel better after.

Juicing is one of the most successful way to obtain a good dose of nutrients. And as I mentioned those nutrients are more easily absorbed by the body than consuming the whole food. I notice these health benefits from juicing:

  • my aches & pains are substantially lessened
  • my skin glows
  • I sleep better
  • I eat less
  • I lose weight
  • I feel more hydrated
  • my head feels clearer
  • I get less headaches
  • overall, I feel more vibrant & alive
  • skin irritations dissipate

On a side note, if you’re not a regular eater of beets or consumer of their juice, don’t be alarmed when you go to the bathroom because it looks as though there’s something seriously wrong – everything is crimson. Ev-er-ry-thing! So be forewarned. Juice on my friend – it really is beneficial to good health.

purple antioxidant juice

This is a powerful juice largely in part due to the beets. Beets can really give your system a good clean-out & can turn your pee & poop crimson, so don’t be alarmed.

Some foods’ appearance beguiles the taste & text Some foods’ appearance beguiles the taste & texture. This is one such dish. Super Crunchy Herb, Lemon & Parmesan Chicken served with a lemony, garlic, caper butter. Breaded chicken & fish are favorites of mine. Served simply with some sea salt & lemon wedges or with this lemony butter sauce. Serve with creamy mashed potato & steamed green beans & call me; I’ll be there! I’ll even bring wine xo

Happy March 1st. The start to a new month needs ca Happy March 1st. The start to a new month needs cake - One Bowl Banana Cake with Caramel Drizzle. There’s something warm & comforting about this cake, especially today. Spring briefly revealed herself to us this past weekend & then she slinked back into the abyss.  Soon. 
Meanwhile I’m still wanting warm & comforting foods making use of the seasonal foods. What are you excited to make as the seasons transition?

Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my website & shared it on Pinterest, I almost blew up my Pinterest account. It was so popular. I was shocked. Really I made it for my husband a couple of times and the recipe was so nice I had to share. I thought here the words “ox tail” might turn people away. I was wrong, quite the opposite. Nowadays it’s beef tail not ox because oxen numbers, as far as I’m aware, have been on the decline and is the reason for beef tails being used but they’re still referred to as ox tail.
