Red beet juice “sun kissed”

Found the original recipe here

Ingredients I used:
1 beet, peeled
2 apples, cored
1 orange, peeled
1 pear

Didn’t add any greens or ginger. Was hoping the family would try it and like it without the extras.

Juice and serve

Watermelon Smoothie

Watermelon smoothie:
I had this quarter of a watermelon sitting in the fridge, waiting its destiny. So before it goes bad, I stuffed it in the blender with some other fruits. Here’s what it came out to be.

**hint: try to buy the sweetest fruits you can so you are not tempted to add any extra sweeteners”

Ingredient:

1/4 a large watermelon
One Bosc pear
One banana
5 large red ripe strawberries

Chop, core, peel, hull all of the above.
Throw in blender. blend til nice and smooth.

Pour and serve! add ice if you like it super cold.
