Beet Juice

This Beet Juice recipe tastes like a ginger lemonade! Beets may help to lower blood pressure and are loaded with antioxidants, so this is a great way to get those benefits more often.

Ingredients

  • 1 large raw beet (8 ounces)
  • 3 large carrots (8 ounces)
  • 1 inche fresh ginger (1 ounce)
  • 1 medium apple (red or green; 5 ounces)
  • 1/2 lemon (2 ounces)
  • 1 English cucumber (10 ounces)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and dry the produce, then cut any pieces that aren't small enough to fit through the chute of your juicer. There's no need to remove any peels or skin from the produce. (The juicer will do that for you!)
  2. Turn your juicer on and run all of the produce through the chute, using the tamper to press it towards the blades. I juice hard produce, like beets, apples, and carrots, on "high" speed, and softer produce, like the cucumber, on "low" speed, if your juicer has two speed options. I like to juice the ginger and lemon with something else, like the apple, so the smaller pieces won't fly around the chute.
  3. Enjoy the juice right away. Discard the pulp, or save it for another recipe as mentioned in this post. Fresh juice is best within 30 minutes of making it, but if you need to store any leftovers, fill up an airtight jar all the way up to the top, and then secure the lid, to make sure there's as little air as possible in the container. Store it for up to 24 hours in the fridge.

Notes

  • Nutrition information is for 1 of 2 servings, but you can drink the whole recipe if you'd like to! It's ultra-hydrating and loaded with nutrients. This information is automatically calculated, and doesn't take into account that much of the fiber is removed during the juicing process.
  • For lower-sugar juice, you can omit the apple, and even some of the carrots. The cucumber will help dilute the beet flavor on its own.
