Sweet Capsicum Juice

Description

You know what they say, if it’s brown, drink it down!

Well, something like that anyway 😊

You see whenever you combine red and green ingredients in a juice recipe chances are it will look less than appealing but don’t let the ‘brown-ness’ stop you from enjoying the refreshing taste of this juice.

It makes a great dinner juice recipe if you are replacing a meal a day or doing a juice cleanse.
