Lovoni's hot pink juice concoction

Juicing isn't for everyone. Quite frankly it's a pain in the ass. Washing all your veggies, juicing them and cleaning the frigging juice extractor thingy is time consuming. Like good sex and exercising, the health benefits are great and once you've done it a few times you get more proficient at it. People have commented to me why not eat the veggies and fruit instead of juicing them. Well look at the recipe, I don't know about you but I couldn't eat all of that in one sitting. Juicing gives you a big hit of nutrients that passes into your system fast letting you utilize the vitamins. I also eat fruits and veggies. It's all about balance, right? Beets are a powerful antioxidant and can make your pee bright pink so don't be alarmed and think you're bleeding internally. If you don't like them leave them out, I know they can have that dirt-like taste but I keep them because of their health benefits. And we can all do with a good detox I'm sure.
