Why the Sweet Potato You Ask?
You might be questioning the use of the sweet potato in this juice. For starters, the sweet potato helps with the sweet flavor, which is essential for a good-tasting juice. It also helps give it that bright lively color!
But, most importantly, it carries benefits that quite significant in maintaining our health.
I believe that one of the most important benefits of raw sweet potato is the fact that it is so rich in antioxidants. This means it has the ability to help your body protect itself from radical damage which could lead to cancer.
It also helps keep you safe from some chronic diseases. Another great advantage to sweet potato is that it’s full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Some of these vitamins and minerals promote good gut health which prevents the growth of unhealthy bacteria. Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene which supports healthy vision and eye-health.
Recently, studies have found that anthocyanins, found in certain sweet potatoes, can help prevent inflammation and enhance memory and learning. This means that it helps enhance brain function!

Tips for Making Skin Glow Raw Juice
If you don’t mind the change in color, add a cucumber. Cucumbers have silica which is great for the complexion and are great for hydration because they have high water content.
You can also add carrots for color and sweetness. They also have added benefits for radiant skin and improve vision.
Don’t have a juicer? No problem, make them in a high-powered blender. You can strain the pulp as you pour into cups, bottle, or pitcher!
Want less sweet and more of a tang? Add some lime or increase the amount of lemon you use!
Love it sweet? Add a teaspoon of honey to your cup or into the blender if you’re blending instead of juicing!
You can add turmeric which will give it a neon glowing color, add flavor, and give it more anti-inflammatory properties!
Looking for a zing or edge of flavor, add some ginger to the juice. Not only will it give it a kick, but can help make you feel better if you have a stomach ache or a cold.
Frequently Asked Questions:
It must be refrigerated right after juicing and lasts about 3 days in a covered pitcher or bottle in the fridge.
Sure! Don’t want potatoes, go for carrots. Beets are also great for skin glow and add sweetness. You can go green and add spinach or kale as well. It’s all about what flavors you enjoy as long as you look for fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and antioxidants.
You can add some of the pulp to your cup for extra added benefits. When you juice, you lose some of the fiber, so, by adding some of the pulp you can retain that fiber. Some people dry out the pulp well and use it as fertilizer for their plants as well.
