Several shades of pink!

Several shades of pink! I'm talking about beets! For those of you that have read "50 Shades of Grey," several shades of pink might prove to be pretty boring, but I can guarantee you that beets, in several shades of pink, will be good for your health!! I was looking at all of the old beet recipes I have and each juice is a slightly different shade of pink. So pretty, but I'm partial to pink!

As you can see, I have tons of beets from my garden. I am so excited because last year none of them grew at all. I planted them a little close together this year, but I have picking them to thin them out, allowing the others to grow a bit bigger. Since I prefer to eat most of my veggies raw, I have been picking what I need and storing them in my frig for juicing. I had planned to make a beet ravioli recipe, but never got around to it. Summer is often just too busy to get complicated!!

As you read on Monday, I used them in my immune boosting juice. I happen to like the taste of beets, but when mixed with other things in juice, you can't really taste them all that much. Below is just a few beet recipes I've posted in the past.

Apples, carrots, red grapes, beets, and wheat grass.

This is an older pic of Gabe drinking beet juice! Crazy how fast he is growing up. Be careful, it turns everything pink!!

I don't recall everything that was in this batch with the beets, but it always looks so pretty!
