I’ve tested this recipe multiple times over the last decade to get the ingredients and method just right (my Beet Juice recipe on YouTube has almost a million views)!

If you’re looking for a great-tasting Beet Juice Recipe, you’ll want to try this version using raw beets, apple, ginger, lime, and cucumber. Make it using a juicer or a blender in 15 minutes or less.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound beets, washed with the greens removed and the ends cut off (about 5 medium beets)
  • 1 large cucumber or 3–4 small cucumbers
  • 1 apple
  • 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 lemon or lime
  • 1 1-inch knob of fresh ginger

Instructions

  1. Wash the produce and chop everything so the pieces will fit into the feeder tube of your juicer. Remove the skin from the lemon and the ginger. 
  2. Feed the vegetable and fruit pieces through the juicer, alternating harder and softer textured pieces to aid in the juicing process. Or, if using a blender, add the ingredients to the base of a high speed blender. Add 1/2 cup of water and lock on the lid. Blend until well combined and then strain the juice through a nut milk bag into a large bowl. 
  3. Serve your fresh beet juice immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a covered container.

Notes

  1. One pound of beets is equal to about 5 medium beets or 3 large beets.
  2. You can easily double this recipe to make more juice.
  3. Fresh juice is best served within 48 hours of making it.
  4. You may wish to wear disposable gloves when handling raw beets as they can temporarily stain your hands.
