This is such an easy drink to make and the flavor is delightful. Not too tangy. Not too tart. Juuuust right. The best part of this juice is the way it makes me feel. It is a bona fide super-juice. Why? Because it has three nutrient-rich foods that are packed with antioxidants.+ Strawberries: Vitamin C, Potassium, Ellagic Acid and Flavonoids (phytochemicals), Folate (B Vitamin)Boost … [Read more...]
