Beetroot Detox

I'm a heavily toxic and constipated person. I've tried all sorts of detox pills and tea. I can't go on like this (~$~) and am advised that prolong uasge is not beneficial for health as well. So when I watched this Taiwanese talk show, with 2 experts from America whom advised on the goodness of beetroot juice that not only help detox and slimming too! But to drink 6 glasses of beetroot concoction a day?!


I followed a recipe from online:

http://www.abc.net.au/nsw/stories/s363394.htm

It calls for celery, apple, beetroot and cucumber. But the quantities used are too much for me alone. So I just divide the portions by 4 since I only have a quater of a beetroot.



My friend suggested that I add in honey to enhance the taste of the juice. She has tried Apple-Beetroot-Carrot/ Celery (ABC) juice at Mei Hua Foodcourt (beside) Golden Shoe and believed that the stall holder has put honey to sweetened it.



Time to get a juicer as my best companion.



I like it! Thou the taste of celery overpower the beetroot. I shall add 2 tbsp of honey next try.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly as I didn't have a cucumber and pure honey at the time.

And I manage to clear my toxin twice the next day!

Here is a list of sites that provide recipes for beetroot juice:
