Back in the day when I was the owner of the old metal Vitamix, this was one of their well known healthy drinks. I used far less beet as this is a really strong flavor. The name is the best part of this recipe, imo, but it's a healthy drink for sure:

Vitamix "Kick-a-Poo Joy Juice"

1 large orange, peeled; keep white part for bioflavinoids, etc.

1-3 apples, seeds, skin, stems and all

1/2 lemon, peel and all

Equal amount of ice or frozen fruit

4 handfuls spinach

3 whole carrots

1 bunch celery

1 cucumber

3 whole fresh garlic cloves

1 large bunch parsley

1 large red beet, leaves and root attached; can really overpower the whole mix

3 ripe bananas

honey or cider, optional

Put the orange, apple, lemon and ice and start to process.

Add spinach and push it down into the blades with the tamper while the machine is running. Reverse once or twice for impact after each item is added.

Add carrots lengthwise through the top and put in celery, leaves and all, one stalk at a time. Add cucumber, skin and all, then garlic.

To kill the odor add parsley and beet.

Can add other fresh ingredients as available. Honey or cider may be added if desired. As machine fills, open spigot and drain into pitcher or a gallon water jug.
