Sweetness of Spirit Sparking Juice

A detox drink! Adding sparkling mineral water make the red and purple colour beetroot juice more pleasant to drink.  

Adding beetroot juice to lemongrass and ginger drink, it masks the beetroot taste.

Mixing different portion of beetroot juice to lemongrass drink would create interesting different hue - shocking pink, or beautiful light magenta or fuchsia or kinky pink, hence making the drink exciting, fun and appears as sensuous and voluptuous too.

On the whole, magenta is the colour of  "letting go" and it helps to relinquish old thought pattern, release emotions that tie to the past and to give up situations that are holding us back.  Once able to rid off these impediments, it is truly free to flow with the energies of life ...
