Toast to jucing! I find myself very fatigue from time to time unfortunately because of my low iron levels. I'm not to big on the iron pills and I often forget to pick up a bottle during grocery shopping. I've always known beets and kale had high amounts of iron. Was never to fond of eating beets (at all) so I thought of jucing them instead. Having a very hectic schedule which practically drains every fiber of me (okay being a little dramatic) sometimes resulted in my attempt to absorb every possible nutrient and vitamin I humanly could on a daily basis, and juicing was the way to go! I usually eat tons of fruit and veggies daily anyway but jucing for extra absorbtion wouldnt hurt one bit. I have noticed a good change in my digestive system which results in less bloating. My skin seems to be more clear and a little bit more energy. I juice about 3 times a week minimum and replace a meal (usually lunch) and always after a night out with friends. Great way to clean toxins out of your body! Check out my delicious iron packed juice below!

I used half of the grapefruit, two kale stalks, one carrot, half of the beet, three stalks of celery and half of the lemon. Grapefruit is a great source of vitamin C and aids in digetsion and weight loss. I use the celery merely to create more jucie (celery is 95% water anyway). Carrots are great source of both vitamin B1 and B2 which is excellent for healthy brain and vision function. Used the kale and beets for the iron packed benifits they have. The juice its self taste bitter (which I like), bit of sweet and very smooth. for a sweeter drink I would add more carrots or less grapefruit. And lets just say this juice isnt the little ones favorite.
Cheers! Enjoy!
