[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Juicing the whole fruit or vegetable provides all the micronutrients needed to fully digest and assimilate the fruit and vegetables’ healthful nutrition. This method of juicing helps maintain blood sugar levels since it provides all of the fiber along with the juice of the fruit or vegetable.  A Vitamix or Blendtec blender is the best way to make whole food juice or blended juice.  The main ingredients in the Vitamix Bloody Mary Detox blended Juice Recipe are carrots, red bell peppers, and tomatoes, all rich in antioxidants.  The reddish orange color of this blended juice is provided by the beta carotene nutrition in these three ingredients, making it easy on the eyes as well as good for them!

1.  Carrots, botanically named Daucus carota subsp. sativus, are a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist.  Carrots are very high in Vitamin A and an excellent source of beta carotenes.  These compounds have shown to aide in prevention of heart disease and to help maintain healthy cholesterol.  Many, many studies have been conducted on carrots and human health – they also play an important role in the healthy functioning of the eye.  Carrots are alse high in Biotin, Vitamin K, fiber, and molybdenum.

 

2.  Red bell peppers are a cultivar group of the species Capsicum annuum.  Red bell peppers are rich in carotenoids which play an important role in heart and eye health.  Red bell peppers are also very high in Vitamin C with one cup of them providing 150% of the USDA recommended daily amount.  Additionally they contain plenty of Vitamin B6, Vitamin A, and Folate as well as being one of the few foods to contain health supportive and cancer fighting sulfur-containing compounds.

 

3. The tomato is the edible fruit/berry of the nightshade Solanum lycopersicum.  Tomatoes are high in antioxidants and particularly rich in Lycopene, a compound thought to be important in bone and prostate health.  Tomatoes are also high in Vitamin C, Biotin, Molybdenum, Vitamin K, Potassium, Copper, and Manganese.

 

 

4.  Celery is a plant variety in the family Apiaceae.  Celery is a great food for weight management.  It is high in water and very low in calories – only 6 calories per stalk!  Celery also produces a lot of juice so is great for use in your Vitamix or Blendtec blender.

 

 

 

5.  The lemon is a small evergreen tree native to Asia.  The juice, pulp, and skin of the fruit are all used in cooking around the world.  Though lemons have an acidic, tart taste – they are one of the strongest alkaline-forming foods.  Lemon juice is a great way to help balance pH.  Lemons are very high in Vitamin C and have a strong antioxidant and antibiotic effect.

 

 

6.  The cayenne pepper is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum.  Although incredibly hot and spicy even in small amounts, cayenne is packed with nutrition and phytonutrients.  Cayenne is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, niacin, riboflavin, Iron, Copper, and Potassium.  Cayenne also contains plenty of, capsaicin, which has been found to have anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic, and anti-diabetic properties. It’s also been shown to reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels.

 

 

7.  Paprika is a spice made from air-dried fruits of the chili pepper family of the species Capsicum annuum.  It’s a warming spice that is very good for circulation.  Paprika contains high levels of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Iron, and Capsaicin, which has been shown to reduce blood pressure in clinical studies.

 

 

8.  Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana, syn. Cochlearia armoracia) is a perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family. Horseradish root is a powerful, pungent, spicy plant that has been used medicinally for over 3000 years.  Horseradish contains unique nutrition in the form of glucosinolates, a family of phytonutrients. When exposed to air, glucosinolates break down into chemicals called isothiocyanates, which have shown many health forming benefits – most notably around cancer prevention.

 

 

 9.  Common salt is a mineral substance composed primarily of sodium chloride.  Salt provides sodium, which is absolutely essential for cell function and human life itself.  The average American diet contains far too much salt, making this ingredient a good one to avoid if you are uncertain how much you are getting in your food.  Over-intake of sodium is a cause of many health problems, including cardiovascular disease.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
