Why I Love This Juice
This recipe is a go-to for post-holiday resets, quick morning fuel, or afternoon pick-me-ups. The earthy beets, naturally sweet carrots and apple, zingy ginger, and bright citrusy lemon combine to create a juice that’s as flavorful as it is functional.
Plus, it’s quick to make, requires no fancy ingredients, and stores well if you want to make a double batch.
Ingredients
- 2 medium beetroots, peeled and chopped
- 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 apple, cored and chopped
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled

Directions
1. Prep the Produce
Peel and chop your beets, carrots, and apple into chunks small enough for your juicer. Peel the ginger and lemon as well.
2. Juice It
Add all the ingredients to your juicer. Juice until smooth and vibrant in color.
Note: If you don’t have a juicer, you can use a high-powered blender and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a smoother finish.

Pour into a glass and serve immediately for the most nutrients and best flavor.
