Super Soul Sunday - Apple Beetroot juice

So.... I opened the fridge and found 2 beetroots, sitting at one corner, already lonely for a week. 

I decided I was free, felt like drinking a cup of juice and wanted to experience something new - I took 1 out and also an apple. And here's how my Super Soul Sunday - Apple Beetroot juice came about!

slurping down this cup of goodness, thinking how time flies when one's busy.

Beetroot is messy. Because after chopping into smaller pieces, my whole chop-board and table was reddish!!

So I was curious and decided to Google about the benefits. Here's what I found:

• Beetroot juice can help lower your blood pressure and keep it at a healthy level (mmmm, i don't need it to be lower because mine's low enough :o)
• It contains magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and calcium as well as small amounts of copper, selenium, zinc, iron and manganese.
• Blood flow to the brain - improve the function of the frontal lobes, which are responsible for maintaining proper cognition, and prevent dementia (sounds great)
• Detoxify the liver, improving the digestive health as well as the body's metabolism
• Benefit the skin and protect it from premature aging due to the free-radical neutralizing effect the antioxidants have (whoo, i love this)
• Boosts the immune system and fights inflammation  
• help increase the quality, thickness and gloss of hair, and to fight dandruff. (wow really? I need thicker hair :|)

No doubt it's very delicious! This cup of juice is very simple to make. Simply chop 1 apple and 1 beetroot, throw them all into the blender. Slowly add a little water while blending, I think about 100ml(?) and let it blend till ultra smooth.

Pour into a cup and it's ready to be served!

Slurps slurps* And warning you first, it's very filling!
Have fun drinking and have a great Sunday :)
