This pink pick-me-up has some impressive restorative powers. The citrus fruit and the raspberries balance the sweet, slightly earthy taste of the beetroot juice
wonderfully.
Serves 4
8 clementines
2 large pink or red grapefruit
8 fresh beetroots (around 250g), leaves removed
1 large punnet of raspberries
1 large knob of fresh ginger
Honey or maple syrup to taste
1 Juice the citrus fruit and set aside.
2 Push the beetroot, raspberries and ginger through a juicer. Mix the pressed juice with the clementine and grapefruit juice.
3 If it tastes too tart, mix in a spoonful of honey or maple syrup. Serve straight away.
