Ingredients
1 small green (or red) apple [~ 6 ounces]
1 large raw beetroot (or 3 small) [~ 8 ounces]
2 medium carrots [ ~ 5 ounces]
1/2 lemon [~ 3 ounces]
1-inch knob of fresh ginger root (optional)
Instructions
Using a juicer:
- Wash and dry the produce. Cut any pieces that aren't small enough to fit through the chute of your juicer. There's no need to remove any peels or skin.
- Run the apple, beetroot, carrots, ginger and lemon through the juicer on the highest setting. Sandwich the ginger between the carrots and lemon for best results.
- Enjoy immediately, or save in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Using a blender:
- Wash and dry the produce.
- Add the ingredients along with 1/2 cup of water to a high speed blender and blend until no smooth.
- Pour the juice over a nut-milk bag with a bowl underneath to catch pulp. Squeeze and twist in both directions until all the juice is drained through in to the pulp. You can also use a fine mesh strainer and the back of a spoon to press the pulp into the strainer to release the liquid into the bowl.
- Enjoy immediately, or save in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Notes
If using a juicer, add ice to the pitcher to chill for best results and flavor. Also, feel free to leave the "froth" or "foam" that the pitcher catches while pouring into your glass behind.
This recipe yields 10 ounces of juice without the foam or pulp.
