Beets are messy.
Somehow I got beet juice on the wall. Â I’m not sure how that happened.
I think I did a good enough with the clean up that my roommate won’t notice. Â We’ll see if I get any texts later today about food Roshach images that I’ve left behind…
Beet Day:
- 1 beet (med)
- 2 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 3 leafs of kale
The flavor of this juice is beet, beet, beet. Â And carrot. Â It’s good and fresh, but I miss the zing of yesterday’s lemon. Â Hannah suggested I add ginger, which I may try to do tomorrow.
Tip: When I cleaned out the juicer, Â all the kale leaves were stuck to the inside of the filter. Â Next time I’ll add the kale first and hope that the other veggies push it through the masticator with a little bit more thoroughness.
