chia beet grapefruit juice

The short days of January are filled with new beginnings.  I love the excuse to re-boot and detox my old body from the rich foods of passed holidays.  I have a great love for fresh pressed beet juice with the addition of the fresh winter citrus.  I have added chia beet grapefruit juice to my daily detox routine.  Let me clarify “detox routine”.  This simply means I now drink a 6 oz glass of chia beet grapefruit juice along side my 2+ ounces of dark chocolate.

I can’t think of a better vegetable to use for a detox drink than earthy beets.  Beets are loaded with vitamins and minerals and give our bodies antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection.   Grapefruit juice has a high concentration of antioxidant vitamin C, polyphenols and lycopene.  I added chia seeds for extra protein and fiber.

Skip to recipe

Juice 3 large beets, 1 ruby red grapefruit, 1 blood orange, and 1 navel or cara cara orange.

I like to keep a jar of jelled (that’s what I call them) chia seeds in my refrigerator.  They can be mixed with pretty much anything.  I add a spoonful to smoothies, juices, yogurt, and water.

Mix 1 cup fresh orange juice with 1/4 cup chia seeds.

Let the orange juice and chia mixture stand for at least 15 minutes or until thickened or jelled.

Add a heaping tablespoon or two to the fresh beet and grapefruit citrus blend.  Boom!  Instant protein and fiber.

Refreshing, cleansing, and changes your urine a lovely shade of pink. (I think this is useful information)

    When you say “juiced” beets, do you feed them through a juicer or blend them in a high powered blender? Thanks for the recipe!

      Yes, I pass them through a juicer. I have an Omega masticating juicer, but any juicer will do OR you can purchase beet juice.

      Whatever chocolate bars I happen to have on hand. I have about 5 lbs of chocolate left over from Christmas chocolate dipping. It’s E.Guittard wafers 72% . I like 72-85% bittersweet. I love Hu Chocolate bars. They are vegan organic and delish. Cashew butter is my favorite. Theo chocolate bars are a great inexpensive option.

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink. 

Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti are my favorite and I add them to my Christmas cookie list because they make such a cute gift, but most of all I love dipping them in my cocoa.

According to my DNA testing I’m only 5% Norwegian. Im going with that as an excuse to bake at least 7 types of cookies. 

Top on my list is this adorable 
Norwegian Berlinerkranser. 

This cute little cookie from my childhood is buttery with a hint of orange. 🤤 I can’t have a Christmas without these cute little cookies. 

How many types of cookies are you baking this year?
