🥤 Fresh Beetroot Juice
Ingredients (for ~2 servings)
- 2 medium beets, peeled and chopped
- 1 apple or 1 orange (for sweetness, optional)
- 1 small carrot (optional, adds sweetness and nutrients)
- 1-inch piece of ginger (optional, for a kick)

Using a blender:

- Strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag for smooth juice.
Using a juicer:
- Feed beets and other ingredients directly into the juicer.
- Collect juice in a glass and stir.
- Add flavor
- Squeeze in some lemon or lime juice.
- Add a pinch of salt or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup if desired.
- Serve immediately
- Fresh beet juice is best consumed right away to retain nutrients.
- Can be chilled for 15–30 minutes if preferred cold.
🌟 Tips & Benefits
- Health boost: Beet juice supports heart health, stamina, and detoxification.
- Balance the earthiness: Pair with sweet fruits like apple, orange, or pineapple.
- Storage: Fresh juice lasts 24–48 hours in the fridge but loses nutrients over time.
