# Ingredients:
→ Juice Ingredients
01 -
2-3 medium-sized fresh beets, cleaned and chopped
02 -
1 sweet apple, cored and cut into chunks
03 -
1 small piece of ginger (optional, for added flavor)
04 -
1/2 cup of water (if using a blender)
# Instructions:
01 -
Thoroughly wash the beets under cool running water to ensure all dirt is removed. Trim off both ends and, if needed, peel the skins. Cut the beets into small chunks for easier processing in your juicer or blender. If you're using apples or ginger, prepare them in the same way by chopping into manageable sizes.
02 -
Use a juicer to process the beet chunks. For best results, alternate beets with softer ingredients like apple slices. Be sure to feed everything slowly to avoid clogging the machine. Clean the juicer promptly after use to prevent beetroot stains.
03 -
Place the beet chunks in a blender along with 1/2 cup of water. Blend on high speed until smooth, around 2 minutes. For smoother juice, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a bowl, gently pressing to extract the liquid.
04 -
For added complexity, try adding a small piece of ginger or squeezing fresh lemon juice into your finished beverage. Taste and adjust as needed.
05 -
Serve the juice slightly chilled for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight glass bottle or jar, filled to the brim, and refrigerate. Consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness and nutrients.
