Chef notes
About the recipe: Kidney cleanser, circulation improver, and cardiovascular supporter. Give your gallbladder and liver a little love, build up the red corpuscles, and stimulate the lymphatic system throughout the body with the right combination of vitamins and minerals. Add some extra vitamin C to help prevent the risk of developing prostrate and other cancers and get a bonus of detoxification of the body. Drink up and you will help to fight oxygen free radicals (which damage cells), lower cholesterol, and support a healthy immune system.
More from Mimi Kirk: This drink is great after a workout, says Kirk. "Beets may help improve stamina and endurance," she says. Plus, the vitamin C from the citrus can help reduce inflammation.
