Preparation Put all the ingredients through a juicer. Alternate between harder foods, like beets and carrots, and kale to help move everything through smoothly. Beet BoosterAs you can see from the beet's incredibly bright color, this root vegetable is loaded with antioxidants. The purple pigment in beets is called betacyanin and can have great liver benefits—it actually helps increase the level of detoxifying enzymes in the liver. This certainly makes beet juice the perfect hangover helper! Recent studies are also confirming that beets can have a nice blood pressure-lowering effect. So, go ahead and chill out with a glass of beet juice. Reprinted with permission from Best Green Drinks Ever: Boost Your Juice with Protein, Antioxidants and More by Katrine van Wyk.
