A homemade fasting juice

Why beetroot suits Buchinger fasting

Freshly pressed juices are traditional in Buchinger fasting โ€“ diluted and in small amounts (drinking).

Beetroot naturally contains vitamins, minerals and plant compounds. With sweet apples it makes an aromatic juice โ€“ a lovely change from the classic carrot-apple juice.

What makes it special

  • vivid colour, aromatic taste
  • apples balance the earthiness
  • regionally available
  • a nice change
