Orange and Beet Juice (Healthy Juice)




Ingredients:

2 big size fresh Orange
1 skinny slice of Beet (Beetroot)
Sugar (or honey), Salt and pepper powder optional


Method:
Step 1: Peel the oranges and cut the beet roots in to small slices.

Step 2: Crush with hand blander and drain into vessel.
Step 3: Add sugar (or honey), Salt and Pepper powder for making tasty. I can not add any of this sugar salt and pepper powder in it.
Step 4: Pure in to glasses. Don’t put long time in to the freeze because orange juice vitamin C taste is different after the 30 minutes of making. Try to drink fresh.


I will prefer without any other things in it and as plan it is also tasty and real taste of orange with color of beet root. It is rich with an excellent source of vitamin C from orange and a source of potassium, iron, and calcium from Beet.
