Carrot & Beetroot Vitality Juice

This blend is naturally sweet, earthy, and packed with Vitamin A and iron.

Ingredients

  • Carrots: 3–4 medium-sized (washed and peeled).

  • Beetroot: 1 small or half of a large one (peeled and sliced).

  • Apple (Optional): 1 green or red apple (adds sweetness and balances the earthy beet flavor).

  • Ginger: A small 1-inch knob (peeled, for a spicy kick and digestion).

  • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon (to keep the color bright and add Vitamin C).

  • Water: ½ cup (only if using a blender).

Preparation Steps

Method 1: Using a Juicer

  1. Prep: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel the carrots and beetroot to remove any bitter skin.

  2. Process: Feed the carrots, beetroot, apple, and ginger through your juicer one by one.

  3. Finish: Stir in the fresh lemon juice.

  4. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best nutrient absorption.

Method 2: Using a Blender

  1. Chop: Cut the carrots, beetroot, and apple into small cubes.

  2. Blend: Place the cubes into the blender with the ginger and ½ cup of water. Blend on high until completely smooth.

  3. Strain: Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh nut milk bag or a cheesecloth into a pitcher. Squeeze well to extract all the juice.

  4. Serve: Stir in the lemon juice and serve chilled.

Quick Tips for the Best Juice

  • Balance the Earthiness: Beetroot has a very strong “earthy” flavor. If you are new to beet juice, start with a smaller amount and increase it as you get used to the taste.

  • Cold is Best: Chill your vegetables in the fridge before juicing for a crisp, refreshing drink without needing ice.

  • Don’t Waste the Pulp: If you use a juicer, you can save the leftover carrot and beet pulp to mix into muffin batters or compost for your garden.
