3 Drink Recipes To Reduce High Blood Pressure and Support Heart Health | Natural Remedies


INGREDIENTS

 
  • Blueberry Beet Juice (4-5 servings)

  • 5-6 Beet Bulbs, peeled & roughly chopped

  • 2 C. Fresh Blueberries

  • 1 C. Fresh Pineapple, peeled & roughly chopped (optional addition)

  • Juice of 1-2 Lemons

  • 1 Cucumber (optional to yield more liquid)

  • Pomegranate Juice (5-6 servings)

  • 3 C. Pomegranate Arils

  • Juice of 1-2 Lemons

  • Hibiscus Tea (8 servings)

  • 8 C. Water, divided in half

  • 1/2 C. Your favorite sweetener (raw honey, birch xylitol, monk fruit, etc.)

  • 1 C. Dried Hibiscus Flower

  • Juice of 1-2 Limes

DIRECTIONS

  • For the Blueberry Beet Juice:
  • If using a juicer: Run all ingredients, except the lemon, through a juicer to extract the juice. Then, squeeze the lemon juice into the juice. Stir to combine. Transfer juice to a pitcher, mason jar, or individual to-go bottles.
  • If using a blender: Add all ingredients, except the lemon, to a blender along with 3-4 C. of water. Blend until smooth. Then, strain the juice using a nut milk bag, tripled layered cheesecloth, or fine mesh strainer. Transfer juice to a pitcher, mason jar, or individual to-go bottles.
  • Drink one cup per day. ENJOY!
  • For the Pomegranate Juice:
  • Add the pomegranate arils to a blender. Pulse/blend for about 10 seconds to release the juice. Feel free to add 1/2-1 C. of water if you want to thin out the consistency and yield more juice.
  • Pour this mixture into a nut milk bag, triple layered cheesecloth, or fine mesh strain, and strain the juice. Then, squeeze in the juice of 1-2 lemons. Stir to combine. Transfer juice to a pitcher, mason jar, or individual to-go bottles.
  • Drink 1/2 C. per day!
  • For the Hibiscus Tea:
  • In a large pitcher or a bowl with a spout, add in the dried hibiscus. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over high heat, add 4 C. of water. If using a granulated sweetener, such as birch xylitol, monk fruit, coconut palm sugar, etc., go ahead and add it to the water now. Right before the water breaks into a boil, remove it from the heat.
  • Pour hot water over the dried hibiscus, cover with a lid, and let steep for 20 minutes.
  • Once it’s done steeping, strain the liquid through a mesh strainer into a large pitcher to separate the liquid from the hibiscus. **If using raw honey to sweeten, you’ll want to add it to the liquid now and stir continuously until it fully dissolves into the liquid.
  • Add 4 C. of room temperature or cold water to the hibiscus tea mixture. Squeeze in the juice of 1-2 limes. Stir and place in the fridge until chilled. When ready to serve, pour it over ice and enjoy!
  • Drink one cup per day!
