5-Color Vegetable Juice
Serves 2 / This combo knocks out all five food-color categories in one shot: green (celery) for phytochemicals such as lutein; red (beets) for phytochemicals such as lycopene; orange (carrots) for antioxidants, carotenoids, and bioflavonoids; white (eggplant) for phytochemicals such as allicin; and blue or purple (eggplant skin) for antioxidants such as anthocyanins and phenolics.
