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)

    This is a great looking and healthy looking juice for a person with no dietaRy RESTRICTIONS.
    But God forbid if they are suppose to be on a low potassium diet.
    Your nutrition facts info. says zero potassium. where it actually should be listed as a very high potassium level. This could be very dangerous For a kidney patient or anyone on a low potassium diet. The juice looks great, I am sure very tasty and normally very healthy. But please check your nutrition information sources much more carefully.

    When you say โ€œjuicedโ€ 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.
