The other day my daughter told me that she can see Brazil from our house in Minnesota. When I asked her how that was possible, she said: "I can see all the way to Brazil because I eat carrots".
It just amazes me how far us adults will go to convince our kids to eat vegetables, and how it actually works! My parents were experts at that - I got my green eyes from broccoli, my skin complexion from carrots, my rosy cheeks from beets. Forget about genotype, we are what we eat, right?
Although it was not Mr. Broccoli who made my eyes green, a lot of good comes from those true lies. And that is why I want to share this juice recipe with you.
This has to be the easiest way to get you and your kids to take advantage of the wonderful nutritional properties of beet roots. I used to have it for breakfast when I was a kid, and I still love it today.
My daughter helped me make the juice, and after drinking a full glass of it she named it "Pinkalicious". Do I need to say more?
