Description
This heart-healthy juice doesn’t need any added sugar to taste sweet and you won’t even notice all the veggies you’re drinking.
Ingredients
- 2 cup water – use this only if you’re using a blender to make this juice (if you’re using a juicer, then omit this ingredient)
- 1 large or 2 medium beets (peeled, ends removed and cut into wedges)
- 1 large carrots (washed, peeled and cut into chunks)
- 1 large granny smith apple (cut into wedges (core removed))
- a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled)
- Juice of one lime or lemon
- Juice of one orange
Instructions
- I don’t have juicer so used my blender to juice this: Peel and chop both ends of the beet and then cut them into chunks.
- Peel your ginger. To peel your ginger, just use the back of a spoon.
- Wash and chop apple into chunks make sure to remove the core in the center, peel and chop up carrots, cut your lemon/lime in half and extract the juice. Extract juice from the orange also.

Beet juice is where the sweetness problem shows up most, it is high in sugar and it tastes like it, so the usual fix of adding carrot and apple pushes it further in the wrong direction. Lemon and ginger are the two things that actually balance it, the acid cuts the sweetness and the ginger covers the earthy note that puts people off. The other practical point is that beet juice oxidises faster than almost anything else, the colour goes from deep red to dull brown within an hour or two, so it is a drink to make and finish rather than batch. If you want it to stay evenly coloured rather than settling into layers, a small amount of gellan gum keeps the pulp suspended.
Very good
