Servings:
Makes app. 2 - 3 cupsThis is one of my more delicious experiments.
Ingredients:
1 medium beetroot
3 medium carrots
½ Avocado
1
banana
1 apple
1 small fennel bulb
1 cup optional: Sprouts, e.g. lentils
Ginger
1 tablespoon
honey
1 teaspoon optional: Guarana
water
Preparation:
Juice the carrots, the beetroot, the apple, the fennel bulb, the spouts, the ginger
Parallel mix the avocado, the banana, the honey and enough water to get it
smooth.
At the end add the juice, mix very short and drink.
For owners of the powermixers:
It should also work if you put everything directly into the mixer. The only drawback would be that you loose some vitamins due to the hig rotation speed.
P.S. Sorry, forgot to make a foto. It just looked bloody creamy… ;-)

This looks wonderful. I can't wait to try it! It's actually pretty similar to the blends I make in the morning, minus the banana. Apples, tomatoes and avocado are the only fruits I mix with vegetables. What exactly is Guarana?
Ps. The name of your juice is what led me to look at your recipe. I say keep the name, especially if it's your own recipe.

I actually really like the name. It grabbed my attention, and is a very accurate description of the color. 'Crimson Sunset' is another good name!

LOL! Don't mean to be a prude, but I have to agree with simplylife, the name grossed me out, just not into drinking anything with an image in my head of "blood" being attached to it. LOL! Sort of equivalent to eating a eating a chicken sandwich while looking at a truck full of crated chickens just waiting for their destiny...wouldn't do that either...

When I was little they made a cola with guarana in it.(think it was called Josta?) They stopped making it because it was making kids too hyper :) Man the things I use to eat and drink when i was little.

I encourage us all to stick to the natural names of foods...and leave out the gross physical descriptions please. I'd appreciate it. There is nothing appealing to me about drinking "blood".

Yeah; sometimes more, sometimes less... ;-)
