today i hv made carrot , pomegranate , beetroot juice. then i put this mixture into blender put apples without peel and luttce leave few. and drink it. after drinking i feel headache. i think too much iron cause or wt do i? any suggestion?

I once added fresh beet root to my green smoothie. BIG MISTAKE! It turned the whole thing so cloyingly sweet that it was inedible.

As for the headache that you got…it can be due to several reasons (stress, dehydration, hormones, etc) and not necessarily because of the smoothie. I don’t think the ingredients that you’ve listed contain a lot of iron. I add a handful of spinach to mine..which contains a lot of iron..but I haven’t had a headache from it. I made one only a couple of hours ago…I chopped up a 1 small green apple, 1 carrot, a handful of blueberries, and a handful of spinach leaves…and blended it with some lemonade (sometimes I use orange juice).
