NOTES

*Set aside the beet greens and use them for salad, pesto or steam them, adding garlic and spices and use as a side dish!

GINGER TIP: When using ginger in juices, I like to add it in the middle of the juicing process in between ingredients. Since ginger is small I like to ensure the pulp and juice don't get stuck in the blade but rather pushed through with the next ingredient.
