November Giving Veggie Juice

While brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes are not commonly used in traditional juice recipes due to their texture, they can be incorporated into a nutrient-packed elixir or smoothie. Brussels sprouts and cauliflower are high in vitamins C and K. Sweet potatoes provide fiber and nutrients. The November Giving Veggie Juice combines these earthy flavors with the sweetness of banana and the creaminess of almond milk. Chia seeds and flaxseeds add additional nutrients and a subtle nutty flavor.
