Dr Jockers Comments:
I am a huge fan of liquid nutrition as it is a powerful way to get pre-digested nutrients into our body. I used to love to drink V8 when I was younger, but those drinks are in aluminum cans that leach out aluminum and BPA and they have hazardous preservatives. This recipe is clean and pure and highly enjoyable!
This recipe is higher in carbohydrates due to the beets, carrots and tomatoes. If your body can handle higher carbohydrates than enjoy this on occasion but if you are on a ketogenic or lower carbohydrate diet than you would want to drink this minimally if at all.
Fortunately, the lemon helps to blunt the blood sugar impact and the phytonutrients and minerals taken in from this drink help the body to utilize the sugar in a more efficient and less inflammatory way. Enjoy!
