Juice Recipe: Sweet Potato, orange and carrot
Potatoes are dangerous and can kill you. I know, right? They look so innocent, harmless, just seating there, waiting to become French fries or puree.
But raw potatoes (specially when allowed to turn green or sprout) contain an enzyme called solanine, which if ingested in large quantities (like when juicing) could cause symptoms ranging from vomiting to coma and death.
So yeah, don’t juice greened potatoes.
Fortunately, sweet potatoes (or yams) don’t contain this enzyme, so juice them away, they are amazingly juice friendly, taste great and are highly nutritious, especially to pregnant women.
This excellent alternative to mundane juices allows you to include sweet potato juice in your diet to maximize its benefits, specially during pregnancy.
Sweet potatoes juice very well, produce a high yield and combine quite efficiently with citrus flavors. Their natural sweet profile complements carrots just right.
The resulting vivid orange color, subtle earthy flavor and high yield juice will become a favorite to anyone who tries it.
