Grapefruit, Apple, Raspberry Juice

"Hey sis... If I buy all the ingredients will you make me my favorite juice?"

This is a regular question around our house as Gimmi loves this juice but hates using the juicer. So I juice it for her. She deserves it though, she's a pretty awesome sister and roommate!

While this juice is super yummy it is also filled with super healthy health benefits.

Grapefruit:
The powerful nutrient combination of fiber, potassium, lycopene, vitamin C and choline in grapefruit all help to maintain a health heart.

Raspberries:
Raspberries contain strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C, quercentin and gallic acid that fights against cancer, heart and circulatory disease and age-related decline.

Red Apples:
Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavonoids, and dietary fiber. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.

So as you can see, this juice is a power house of health! All you need to do is wash your raspberries, slice up your apples, and peel your grapefruit. Then juice away! This is a juice the kids will love too!

Happy Juicing!
