INGREDIENTS:

2 apples

1/2 red pepper, deseeded

1/2 yellow pepper, deseeded

1 small raw beetroot

1/2 lemon, peeled

Ice

DIRECTIONS:

Pour over ice & enjoy.

Why this is good for you:

Beetroot is exceptional in assisting to rebuild red blood cells & prevent iron deficiencies (anaemia).

The high levels of betacarotene in this juice help to mop up free radical damage which can otherwise cause a multitude of diseases in the body.

Peppers are high in vitamins B and C & are also a good source of capsaicin, a natural painkiller thought to be beneficial for arthritic pain.

This juice contains fruit and vegetables from across the colour spectrum.

In fact, the different phytochemicals & antioxidants in the fruits & vegetables give them their colour.

According to the Briitish Medical Journal, if you consume a range of produce from across the colour spectrum every day, you will receive the perfect cocktail of phytochemicals, vitamins & minerals.
