Beetroot and Watermelon Juice

Have a refreshing beetroot and watermelon juice for full energy in doing your daily works because watermelon and beetroot are full of vitamins and minerals that our body needs  to function well.
Watermelon is rich in beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin B5 and smaller amounts of B1, B2, B3 and B6. It is also a rich source of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and smaller amounts of copper, iron and zinc. Like watermelon, beetroot contains vitamins, B1, B2, B6 and C but it has vitamin A which is not present in watermelon.The minerals that we can get from beetroot are these: calcium, magnesium,copper, phosphorus, sodium and iron  that is why I combined these 2 ingredients because of their nutritional values.

Beetroot
