| Ingredients: |
| 1 small or 1/2 large Apple (red or green) |
| 1/2 small Beet, peeled and chopped |
| 1 large or 2 small Carrots, chopped |
| 1/2 small Lemon or Lime (approx. 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice) |
| 1 inch piece of Ginger, peeled and chopped |
| 1/2 cup Water |
Directions:
- Cut apple, beetroot, and carrot into big pieces.
- Place 1 chopped apple, 1/2 chopped beetroot, and 1 large chopped carrot in the big jar of a blender or a mixer grinder. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice (juice from 1/2 small lime or lemon), 1 inch piece chopped ginger, and 1/2 cup water.
- Blend until smooth.
- Take a large bowl and keep a fine metal strainer over it. Spread a cheesecloth over it and pour the prepared mixture.
- Gather the cloth from all the sides towards the center and twist and press it to squeeze out the juice. You can strain the juice using a nut milk bag as well.
- Discard the fibrous pulp. You can use this pulp to make paratha dough or add to soup as well.
- ABC juice is ready for serving.
- Pour the juice into serving glasses and serve immediately to get the maximum benefits. You can store this juice in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Tips and Variations:
- Make ABC juice in a juicer – Process all the ingredients through a juicer. Discard the pulp. Add 1/2 cup water to the prepared juice if you prefer the diluted juice.
- Add 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) for variation.
- If you don’t mind a little pulp in the juice, you can strain that with only a fine mesh strainer (instead of using cheesecloth).
Taste: Sweet and mild tangy
Serving Ideas: Serve this juice in the morning or the afternoon instead of tea or any other sugary drink.
