This Ginger Honey Veggie Bowl is simply a bowl of goodness. It’s pure and simple food that feeds your heart and soul. It’s what I crave coming home after a long, busy day.

This Grapefruit Carrot Fennel Juice is sweet, tart and tangy all at the same time. It is not only delicious. It is really healthy too. I love the combo of grapefruit, fennel and carrot in a salad so I thought why not make a juice out of it. Grapefruit is a great source of vitamin c, a vitamin that helps to support the immune system. The rich pink color of grapefruit is due to lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight free radical damage. Research suggests that lycopene-rich foods such as apricots, pink grapefruit, guava, papaya and watermelon can help lower cholesterol and even reduce the risk of getting diseases like diabetes and cancer.

This Apple Beet Carrot Juice is a real classic combination. I used purple carrots in this one and added a bit of fresh ginger for some extra spice. Did you know carrots originally weren’t orange at all? They were originally purple or red. Orange carrots came about through both a process of natural mutation and later domestication by most likely Dutch breeders. Purple carrots (usually orange inside) have even more beta carotene than their orange carrots. They derive their purple pigment from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that can help prevent free radical damage. Other fruits and veggies rich in anthocyanins are red beets, red cabbage and cranberries. Read More
