Beetroot, apple, carrot and watercress iron boost

Iron boost juice drink

This juice gives you a real boost of iron, folic acid, essential minerals and anti-oxidants. What is more, the vitamin C in the vegetables and the apple juice help your body to absorb the iron. The watercress adds a lovely spicy, peppery taste and balances really well with the sweetness of the carrot and beetroot. You might find the purple colour of the juice a little unusual, but latest research suggests that purple foods such as beetroot can protect you against heart disease, strokes, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Give it a go, you'll be pleasantly surprised...

Method

1. Chop the carrot and the beetroot into small cubes and put in a blender with the liquid and the ice cubes.

2. Blend for a minute. Add the watercress and blend again until the mixture is really smooth.

3. Add a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Strain the juice through a tea strainer or colander.
