For those who love juicing, this is the perfect Halloween juice recipe that's festive, super healthy, and looks gorgeous before you drink it up. 

That vibrant, vivid orange peel and inner flesh of pumpkins tell you they carry a wealth of good nutrients, such as Vitamin A, Viamin C, Vitamin E and potassium. Apples bring Vitamin C and a lovely fall flavored sweetness to the juice, and carrots bring the antioxidant beta-carotene and lots of Vitamin A, some Vitamin K, folate, manganese and more to the party.

Ingredients

4 C pumpkin chunks (pick organic, food-grade pumpkins, wash well & dice to size that fits into your juicer chute)

3 organic apples, sliced

2 organic carrots, diced

Additional tasty add-ins: consider adding in celery, jicama or a small handful fresh spinach. Or try adding a 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice - it might be just the flavor boost you're after!

Directions: follow your juicer manufacturer's instructions.
