Ingredients

Beets are one of those vegetables that are underused, in my opinion. They can be consumed raw or cooked, and I think they have the most delicious, sweet flavor. And, beets are incredibly healthy and immune-boosting, too. 

Beets are perfect in a juice, too, because they are naturally sweet. Beets are also a great vegetable because they are generally available all year round. While you can certainly just use beets in this recipe, I like to include other vegetables to help balance the flavors. My favorite ingredients for beet juice include:

  • Red or purple beets
  • Carrots
  • Flat-leaf parsley
  • Lemon or lime
  • Celery
  • Cucumber
  • Apple

Each of these ingredients is high in antioxidants and vitamins that all support you liver’s natural detoxification system. While you could certainly just eat all of these veggies, it can be difficult to consume that much fiber. So, while I do think we should all be eating lots and lots of vegetables, juicing can be an additional and easy way to get micronutrients into your system.

Recipe Steps

Step One

The first step for any homemade vegetable juice is to gather all of your ingredients. I like to wash and prep them ahead of time since that is the most time-consuming part of the whole process. Sometimes I will even prep my juice up to a couple of days before I actually make the juice.

Step Two

Grab a juicer or a blender. I prefer a masticating-type juicer over a centrifugal type, but whatever you have is perfectly fine, as long as you are comfortable using it. This is the juicer that I have and recommend.

You can also use a high-speed blender to make juice, but you’ll have to strain the pulp out if you use a blender. It’s also interesting to note that even using just one large beet will turn the juice red, no matter what other vegetables are included.

Step Three

The last step is to juice the beets and any other additional ingredients. I always like to add a little bit of fresh lemon or lime to brighten up the beet juice. Carrots or apples are optional, but they will also add more sweetness to the naturally sweet beet juice.

FAQs

Can I drink this juice everyday?

Yes, you can drink beet juice everyday as long as you don’t have any troublesome side effects, such as diarrhea.

What are the benefits of beet juice?

Most vegetable juices have the benefit of having a high antioxidant and vitamin content, especially when consumed immediately after making the juice. The benefit of juicing is that you don’t have to digest all of the fiber from the juice. Learn more about beet juice benefits.
