Very Veggie

Sweet potato as juice? You bet. This pumpkin-colored tuber is not only a surprising—and easily sourced—ingredient with an appealing flavor, it also helps you get your glow on. The carotenoids in orange-colored vegetables like carrot and sweet potato have such beneficial effect on skin, they have a scientifically validated "attraction factor"—meaning that warm glow you naturally acquire makes others rate you as more attractive.

Ingredients

1 cup kale
1 cup spinach
1 cup parsley
1/4 medium sweet potato, peeled
1/4 medium cucumber
4 medium carrots
3 stalks celery

Preparation

  1. Juice.
