Magenta Juice

The garden is in full swing...bush beans, beets, carrots and zucchini.  The grapes, alas,  are from the store and I can't show you the blueberries because they went into the juice.

The results: fresh taste and gorgeous color!

Here's the recipe:

  • Two medium beets
  • Two small carrots
  • 1 cup green beans (some of mine are purple)
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 bunch of red grapes
  • handfull of blueberries
Juice and enjoy!  This recipe makes about 32 ounces of juice.

Nutrition:

The beets give you Calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, iron, potasium and B6.  The green beans are rich in the same things as beets plus vitamin A.  Carrots are a superpower for Vitamin A.  Zucchini has tons of vitamin A and potassium.  Grapes make this juice sweet and delicious and blueberries are high in vitamin C.  All these dark colored fruits and vegetables carry a load of anti-oxidants and fiber.
