Notes about recipe

This drink is made from red beets, grapefruit, turmeric, and Romaine salad and is a nice combination of ingredients. It is excellent after a strenuous workout.

Red beets: Red beets are detoxifying and fortifying. They are also rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. During cooking, however, red beets lose some of their nutritional value.

Turmeric: Turmeric also has anti-inflammatory effects and is believed to contain ingredients that fight cancer and promote healthy bones. However, it doesn’t help when consumed in the small quantities typical for seasoning purposes. To experience these beneficial effects, you need to include larger quantities in your daily diet.

Tips

Peeling the lemon(s): Depending on the taste you want to achieve, make sure you peel well before juicing as the white under the peel contains bitter substances and will add a bitter taste.

Alternate preparation

Alternate Ingredients: You can, of course, also add other ingredients to the juice. However, the authors have created an excellent combination of flavors that you won’t want to miss.

Ground turmeric: If you donʼt have any fresh turmeric, you can use ground turmeric instead. About 20 grams of fresh turmeric is equivalent to about 1 tsp ground turmeric.
