This is one of most favorite juices to make because it tastes so delicious. You guys this juice is the bomb seriously!  Don't be afraid of the deep red color and all you think is whoa beets, no way.  It's totally yummy in your tummy I promise.  You can't even taste the beet because all you will taste is the sweetness of the apple.  I personally drink this juice for the nutritional benefits because I feel more energized, alert, and it's excellent for my liver.  Try it you might like it.
