I was in the Whole Foods in Charlottesville, VA recently where I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Sissy Spacek tasting Whole Foods’ newest cold pressed juice product.  The juice barista was starstruck.  I thought it was me…just kidding.  I purchased the BEET-ternal juice.  It was delicious.  It is the conventional Apple Beet Carrot (called ABC juice in many juice bars) with the addition of KALE.  Man, why didn’t I think of that?  Everything is better with kale!  When I got home, I had to make one for myself.  Here is the Off The Grid Health version of this instant energy morning juice. It has 1248% DV of Vitamin A, 444% DV of Vitamin C, 40% DV of Calcium, 28% DV of Iron.  If you are a geek for protein, you will be happy to know this meat-less, dairy-free drink has 9 grams of protein! We call it, The BeetSurrection.
