Strawberry Apple Beet Lime Juice

Fresh juice makes a great hydrating nutrient rich breakfast compliment.  It also makes a great mixer, just add vodka, or tequila and maybe a dash of cointreau, or chambord.  I don’t use the juicer enough but it is always worth the effort.    

There was a lot of fresh fruit in the kitchen following a New Years Eve party and I wanted to start paleo January out right.  I didn’t think this up, the Green Kitchen at the Milwaukee Market sells this as the Red Rooster.  The beauty is in its simplicity and the flavor is robust and delicious.

Since I added beets to my diet a month or two ago I have been extolling their virtues.  Turns out plenty of people are aware of beets and don’t like them.  At our New Years Eve party I learned they smell earthen, like an old moldy basement.  Later it degenerated to dirty gym socks.  I even had beets on hand to dissuade critics but only reinforced their views.  Beets are not for everyone.
