Beet & Berry Juice
From The Kitchen
Deep ruby-red and beautiful — earthy from the beet, sweet from the apple and berries, and just tart enough from the lemon.
Ingredients
- 1 beet, scrubbed
- 2 apples, cored
- Handful of strawberries, hulled
- ½ lemon, peeled
Method
- Scrub the beet well (no need to peel) and prep the fruit.
- Run the beet, apples, strawberries and lemon through a juicer.
- Stir and serve over ice. No juicer? Blend everything with ½ cup water, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut-milk bag.
Storage: Best fresh. Keeps 24 hours in a sealed jar filled to the top.
Serve it with
- A vibrant afternoon refresher
- Post-walk or post-workout
- As a colorful start to the day
Stretch it with water
A splash of filtered water — or more — makes the juice go further and lightens the sugar in every glass. It's a gentle option if you're sensitive to sugar or simply looking to cut back. Start with about one part water to three parts juice, then adjust to your taste.
Gina's tip
Beets are strong — one is plenty. And don't be surprised by the gorgeous color; that's the beet doing its thing.
Deeply colored fruits and vegetables are some of the loveliest things you can put in your body. Enjoy this one for the pleasure of it.
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
