  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 raw red or purple beets, scrubbed well with tops and ends removed
  • 1 cup purple grapes
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/2 lemon, peeled
  • 1 cup water (if using a blender to make the juice)

Instructions

  3. If you are using a food processor or blender, add the beets, grapes, cucumber, lemon, and water to the base. Blend or process on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Then, pour the blended juice through a nut milk bag, squeezing it from the top down to drain the juice into a pitcher. Discard the collected pulp, or save it and use it for another purpose.
  5. Serve the juice immediately.
