Liquid Lycopene



Lycopene: The nutrient that gives tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, apricots and other red fruits and vegetables their red color. This pigment acts as an antioxidant in the body, protecting cells against damage from the free radicals formed when body cells burn oxygen for energy. It is especially good for men's health!

What you will need:

- 3 roma tomatoes
- 2 large carrots
- 5 ripe apricots (pitted)
- 1 large pink grapefruit (peeled)
- 1 lb of strawberries
(It is important that you do NOT cut the fruit unless you are removing the seed or cutting so that it will fit in the juicer. Also, do NOT remove the skin unless it is citrus fruit because the skin in most fruits and veggies holds a large part of the nutrient content.)

Yeild: 3 (8 oz) glasses

Juice according to the directions on YOUR juice extractor.
