Paul's Morning Beet Juice

When I have a little time in the morning I like to start off with my favorite fresh juice. It is thick and creamy, sweet, earthy and a little tart. Its a fresh and health way to start the day, but it also has enough substance to hold me over until lunch...or dinner if its a busy day at work. It takes about 5 minutes to make, including cleaning up the juicer. Here's how I do it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium beet
  • 4 medium to large carrots
  • 1 tart apple
  • 1 sweet apple

Steps:

  1. Wash the fruit and vegetables carefully (this avoids tedious peeling and the off flavors of dirt ending up in your juice.) It is well worth your time.
  2. Trim the ends of the vegetables -- remembering that everything you don't cut off is going to end up as part of your juice.
  3. Cut the fruit and vegetables into pieces that can fit into your juicer.
  4. Juice, pour into a glass with a couple ice cubes, drink.
