yeah, with the beets it'll look like you're bleeding internally. Carrots do it too, but not as alarming a color.

We spent a couple of years juicing. We discovered that keeping the mix simple, 2-4 juices kept the flavor pretty good. We then switched to smooties, keeping all of the fiber.

I like both options quite a bit.

For the juices we went the full gamut of fruits and veggies, but I had a heck of a time with anything tomato based. I only found one that I liked.

One of my favorites was Pineapple and ginger. Carrot, orange and ginger is also quite yummy. I liked many of the others and was able to get them all down even if I didn't care for them much.

We used the Omega 350 Vert. It is an excellent juicer.

We use a nutribullet for the smoothies.
