Apple Beet Carrot Juice

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.

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
