This grape infused citrus beet juice may be for you if you suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart palpitations or blood clots. It is the ultimate heart-healing juice, containing ingredients that target the circulatory system and strengthen it so that you can feel your best!
Grapes contain high levels of naturally occurring antioxidants that can reduce hypertension (a condition that can eventually lead to heart failure). The flavonoids in grapes have natural blood-pressure-lowering effects that can help counteract the effects of those who consume a high-salt diet.
Beets are also a known cardiovascular-strengthening root, helping lower the incidence of metabolic syndrome which includes high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Nitrates (naturally-occurring) in beets are compounds that help improve blood flow throughout the body, opening up the vessels and allowing for more oxygen flow and lower blood pressure.
So go ahead and make this juice and drink your heart healthy!

Carly, I like your website, you have helped to educate me to become healthier! You have some very healthy recipes. Do canned beets have to be cooked before making them into a smoothie? Are canned beets safe enough to eat right out of the can or should I parboil them? Thanks in advance. Rex
Hi Rex – canned beets are already pre-cooked so you don’t have to cook them again!
