Beet Juice
Description
The Beet Juice recipe uses whole raw ingredients including beet, carrot, ginger, apple, lemon, and English cucumber, juiced together to extract fresh liquid while leaving pulp behind. Using the whole fruit or vegetable, including peels, enhances nutrient intake. The ginger adds subtle warmth and spice.
The resulting juice balances the earthy depth of beetroot with the natural sweetness of apples and carrots. The lemon juice provides acidity and brightness, while cucumber lends a clean, hydrating quality. Fresh juice like this is best consumed promptly to retain maximum flavor and nutrients.
Serving the juice immediately ensures the fresh and vibrant flavors stand out. If storing leftovers, filling airtight containers minimizes oxidation, keeping it drinkable up to 24 hours. Adjusting the apple or carrot quantity can reduce sugar content for a less sweet option.
This juice suits those wanting a concentrated vegetable and fruit drink for hydration and vitamins, consumed alone or with meals.
Ingredients
- 1 large beet 8 ounces, raw
- 3 large carrot 8 ounces
- 1 inche ginger 1 ounce, fresh
- 1 medium apple (red or green; 5 ounces)
- 1/2 lemon (2 ounces)
- 1 English cucumber (10 ounces)
Instructions
- 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!)
- 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.
- 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 info is per half the recipe; you can drink the entire batch if desired.
- To reduce sugar, omit apples and some carrots; cucumber will dilute beet flavor.
- Juice fresh for best taste; leftovers keep up to 24 hours stored airtight and full.
