Recipe Ingredients
For juicing, buy only organic produce for the lowest pesticide residues. You want your juices as healthy as possible. And be sure to wash your produce well. If organic is not available where you are, shop by the dirty dozen and clean fifteen list.

- Carrots – Naturally sweet and full of beta-carotene, carrots promote eye and skin health.
- Beet – Earthy and vibrant, beets are loaded with antioxidants and support circulation and detox.
- Lemon – Adds bright flavor and vitamin C to boost immunity and balance the sweetness.
- Green Apple – Tart and crisp, it adds a touch of natural sweetness without spiking sugar.
- Ginger Root – Adds a subtle kick and is known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits.
Substitutions & Variations
- Swap the apple – Use a pear for a slightly milder sweetness, or a red apple if you prefer it sweeter overall.
- No fresh ginger? – Add a pinch of ground ginger.
- Milder beet flavor – Use just half a beet or add more carrot to soften the earthiness. Golden beets are also milder and slightly sweeter.
- Spice it up – A dash of cayenne can boost metabolism and add a warming kick.
- Make it smoother – Strain the juice after blending for a cleaner finish.
- No juicer? – Blend everything with a little water, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
How to Make Beet Juice

Beets are a powerful natural detoxifier, and that makes your liver happy because your liver is your main detox organ. Here are some powerful health benefits of beets and beet juice:
- Beet juice assists in lowering blood pressure due to natural nitrate content, especially in raw beets.
- Beets support the fight against cancer, support eye health and lower the risk for heart disease.
