Watermelon juice

Ingredients
2 large slices watermelon
1 raw beetroot
2 large carrots

Method
Chop all the fruit and vegetables
Place into the juicer – beetroot first and watermelon last (this is just because the water content of the melon will flush the juicer out making it easier to clean and ensuring that you get all the beetrooty goodness)
Pour over ice cubes
Enjoy
