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
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve your fresh beet juice immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a covered container.
Notes
- One pound of beets is equal to about 5 medium beets or 3 large beets.
- You can easily double this recipe to make more juice.
- Fresh juice is best served within 48 hours of making it.
- You may wish to wear disposable gloves when handling raw beets as they can temporarily stain your hands.
