    This intensely-colored juice gets its deep red color from red beets and from betacyanin, the phytonutrient responsible for that color. This juicing recipe includes carrots, celery, ginger, lemon and tart Granny Smith apple, each with great health benefits, and not to mention it tastes great too!

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • Nutrient-packed – Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support energy, detox, and glowing skin.
    • Fresh and flavorful – A balanced blend of earthy, sweet, and tangy ingredients.
    • Beautiful and easy – Naturally vibrant in color and simple to make at home with a juicer.

    Beets are so good for you! Another way to enjoy them is this beautiful beet and feta salad.

    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.

    • Celery – Hydrating and mineral-rich, celery helps reduce inflammation and supports digestion.
    • 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

    Wash all of your produce well. No need to peel anything. Cut vegetables and fruit into bite-sized pieces for juicing with your specific juicer according to the manufacturer's directions. Process everything into beet juice.

    Beet Juice Health Benefits

    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.
    • And if you are an athlete, studies suggest beets improve performance.

    And those natural beet nitrates? They may improve mental and cognitive function by promoting the dilation of blood vessels and thus increasing blood flow to the brain. Read more about the huge health benefits of beets here. And if your urine or poop turn a bit pink or red, don't worry; that's natural. It's a harmless, temporary condition called beeturia.

    When buying produce for juicing, go organic. Variance in quantities is listed as it depends on the size of, for example, beets, which can be small or huge. Scrub or soak produce prior to juicing, but do not peel.

    Instructions
     

    • Chop produce into the appropriate size for your juicer, then juice according to the manufacturers directions. Strain if desired.

    Notes

    If your beets come with the beet greens attached, you can juice those as well, but the color may be a bit muddied because green and red mixed together make brown. Still full of nutrition.
