Beet the Blues

If you’re an eighties kid, the color of this juice may bring back memories of grape-flavored chewing gum rolls that came in hard plastic containers. Thankfully, in this case the cheerful color is not the result of scary chemicals and colorings, but of all the goodness stored inside blueberries and beets instead. When using beets, don't discard the greens. They are as good as the roots, and have a similar earthy flavor. In fact, beets were originally grown for their leaves, not their roots. You can use yellow or white beets, but nothing is more stunning than the intense magenta color that regular beets give to any juice.
