Beet er Dandelion

This intensely colored and flavored juice is not for the fainthearted. The bitterness of dandelion may put sweetness seekers off this drink, but for me, its superior detoxifying properties more than make up for it. No pain, no gain. If you want the real hardcore version of this juice, have it without the apple. The beets and carrots already are rich in sugar, and more fruit only adds to it. However, if you really need it, you can add the fruit to get the benefits of the dandelion leaves past your taste buds.

2 dandelion leaves 1 beet 1 carrot ½ cucumber ½–1 lemon ½ Granny Smith apple (optional)
