Beet Energy Juice Recipe Ingredient Quantities
- 2 medium beets, peeled and chopped

How to Make this Beet Energy Juice Recipe
1. Start with a good wash. All of the vegetables need it, even those you will eventually peel. You’ll use them in various forms, and some form will be a close enough approximation of their final form that you want to make sure they are as clean as you can get them.
2. Chop the beets into small pieces and blend them together in a blender.
3. Cut the carrot into evenly sized pieces to ensure an even blend.
4. Core the apple and chop it into chunks; this will make your juice sweeter.
5. Shave the ginger and slice it into smaller pieces of about 1-inch. Cutting it against the grain helps it fit better into a 1-inch opening on a small grater.
6. Combine the chopped beets, carrot, apple, and ginger in a blender.
7. Add the lemon juice to the bowl, which will heighten the flavor and stop the cut avocado from turning brown.
8. To ensure easy and smooth mixing of the ingredients, adding a cup of cold water to the blender is a good first step.
9. Mix the liquid until it reaches a smooth consistency, making sure there are no sizable pieces left.
10. If you want, you can strain the juice through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to get a smoother texture. If you like, serve it over ice cubes. Either way, enjoy your refreshing beet energy juice!

FAQ
- Can I use cooked beets for this juice?It’s not advisable to use cooked beets, as the cooking process leaches out many of the water-soluble nutrients and enzymes that you want to retain.
- Can I substitute the apple with another fruit?Certainly! You may substitute pears or oranges if you prefer to try a flavor that’s different from this one, in keeping with the profile of the fruit used in this recipe.
- How long can I store the juice?Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of two days. After 48 hours, it should not be consumed for safety reasons.
- Can I make this juice in a blender?Indeed, mix the components and subsequently filter them through a mesh so fine it might as well be a sieve, or opt for cheesecloth instead—in case you’re feeling particularly fancy.
- Is the lemon juice necessary?If you prefer, you can leave the lemon juice out. But it helps keep the color bright and the flavor fresh.
- What if I don’t like ginger?Reduce or omit the ginger if you prefer a milder taste.
- Are there any variations I can try?Include a small portion of spinach or kale for additional nutrients and a darker hue.
Beet Energy Juice Recipe Substitutions and Variations
Red or golden beets can be used instead of regular beets, as well as carrots, which have a milder flavor.
Celery or cucumber can replace carrot to give a different taste and texture.
An apple could be substituted with a pear or a pineapple to provide a sweeter flavor.
Turmeric can be used in place of ginger to give an earthy twist, or cinnamon for warmth.
Lime juice or a splash of apple cider vinegar can take the place of lemon juice for acid.
Pro Tips
1. For a more intense flavor, consider roasting the beets and carrots before blending. This brings out their natural sweetness and adds a subtle depth to the juice.
2. If you prefer a slightly sweeter juice, opt for a sweeter variety of apple such as Fuji or Honeycrisp. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup if desired.
3. To enhance the ginger’s flavor and aroma, try lightly grating it before blending. This releases the essential oils and maximizes the ginger’s health benefits.
4. Add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors and enhance the natural sweetness of the ingredients.
5. If you enjoy a bit of spice, sprinkle in a small amount of cayenne pepper or add a slice of jalapeño before blending for a gentle kick.
