Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized fresh beets, peeled and chopped
- 2 large carrots, washed and chopped
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
- 1 medium apple, cored and chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup water (120 ml)
- A handful of ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the beets using a vegetable peeler, then chop into chunks about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 4 cm). Wash and chop the carrots and apple the same way. Peel your ginger with the edge of a spoon.
- If using a juicer, feed the beets, carrots, apple, and ginger through one at a time. Collect the juice in a jug. This step usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice directly into your juice, stirring gently to combine.
- If the juice is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water and stir well.
- For a refreshing drink, toss in a handful of ice cubes or refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.
- If you don’t have a juicer and used a blender, pour your mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove pulp. Press gently to extract as much juice as possible.
Notes
Use organic beets if possible. Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled. If you don’t have a juicer, blend and strain the mixture. Peel beets thoroughly to avoid bitterness. Store juice in a sealed glass container and consume within 24 hours for best flavor and nutrient retention.
