Plum, Beet, Carrot Juice with Ginger and Cinnamon

I've been doing a lot of juicing  lately, as the winter slips away and spring creeps in.
   There are many health  benefits that come from adding juicing to your daily diet. I have been trying to incorporate more beets into my juicing recipes; (I've found many great juicing recipes on Pinterest).  

      For this recipe I combined fruit, vegetables, ginger and spice. This is an invigorating, detoxifying juice with  added zing from the ginger and a kick of spice from the cinnamon. The added deep red color from the beets is a visually appealing plus! 
                                                      (Recipe at bottom of post)

                                       
            It helps to have all your materials together before you start, so 
            gather your carrots, plums, beets, ginger, and cinnamon onto a 
            cutting board. Prepare your juicer so you can easily place the fruit 
                                and veggies in it once chopped.

 Peel carrots, cut ends off of beets and slice all fruit and veggies up. The slices           don't have to uniform or pretty, it's all going in the blender after all! 
                   Slice skin from around ginger and cut into slices.

 *Optional* If you would like to add a little sweetness to balance out the                  tartness of the plums, put half a sliced green apple into the mix.


    Layer ingredients into your juicer, (or you can use a blender and press the                 smoothie through a fine mesh sieve to extract the juice)

                     This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups, perfect for sharing! 
              Add an ice cube to each glass for a refreshing juice experience!

Simone Sutcliffe Jewelry Design JewelMint Collective

I launched as a JewelMint collective designer in the late Fall of 2013. I included 11 select designs and a bio of my path into jewelry.

I have absolutely fallen in love with the commentary that goes on between visitors on the site. It really lets me connect with how people interact and see my jewelry designs in a way I normally don't get to. Jewelmint user's comments on my photography, color combinations and even ideas for other designs, have been invaluable to my artistic process.
