Cooking Measurements

Ingredients:

1 small red Beetroot

1 large Apple (or 2 small apples)

2 Celery stalks

1-2 Carrots

1/2 Lemon or Lime

1/2 inch small piece of Ginger, peeled

Directions:

Wash all vegetables and fruits in running water and pat dry them.
Peel and cut beetroot into long slices. Cut apple into long pieces and remove the core. Peel and cut carrot into long pieces. Cut celery into long pieces.
Put glass or container under the nozzle of a juicer and turn it on.
Process all ingredients (beetroot, apple, carrot, celery, ginger) except lemon alternatively through juicer.

Squeeze the half lemon into prepared juice and stir well. Pour it into chilled serving glass and serve. Drink it immediately.

Tips and Variations:

Choose a small and firm beetroot. Also, we used sweet apple but you can use any type of apple of your choice.
Pure beetroot juice is very strong; always mix it with some other fruit or vegetable juice to potentially avoid any side effects.
If you are using organic veggies and fruits, don’t peel them.

Taste: Sweet and refreshing

Serving Ideas: Serve it in the breakfast to get a refreshing and healthy change from routine apple and orange juices. It helps lower high blood pressure and it’s a recommended drink for high BP patients. Drink it regularly to prevent any cardiovascular problems from occurring.

Best for healthy lifestyle. I salute u for making simplicity for us.

Mar 03, 2023 by Mcan

I absolutely hate the taste of carrots! But, I was pleasantly surprised!! This recipe was delicious and perfectly balanced all flavors! Best way to describe it is a little salty from the celery a little sour from the lemon and a little spicy from the ginger and a little sweet from the other vegetables! This recipe is a winner!

Aug 19, 2022 by Sisi

Please send me recipes for carrot and detox juices.

Sep 24, 2021 by Barry

I`m sorry but I can`t rate this yet because I haven`t tried it yet.
When I was a child of three years old my mother gave me beetroot with my dinner and I cannot tell you how much I hated it. Consequently, I haven`t touched it since. I am now 73 !
I have heart disease, asthma, C/O/P/D. and now Diabetes. I`m wearing out !!
I have decided to give Beetroot a go and see if it really is as good as people say and your recipe is to be my Guineau pig.

Wish me luck, I`ll let you know how I get on.

Best regards

Barry

Took some beetroot apple carrots juice to boost blood level. Quite refreshing but noticed my sugar level dropped very low to the extent that I had to drink sugar solution to normalize.
Please what's your take on this because I want to continue drinking my juice and not a top because of very low sugar after drinking it.

Hi, love this juice. But I'm nearly drowning in wonderful leftover pulp and don't want to throw it out. I've made vege fritters with some pulp, and currently making soup with more, but I still have heaps. So, can I use these ingredients as the base of a batch of fermented foods? Will the apple and celery work in this process? Thank you for any tips. Lovely website, too!

Response: Thanks Andrea for sharing the tips of using the pulp in different recipes. You can also use them to make the dough of paratha (mixed vegetable paratha) or vegetable cutlet (shallow fried fritters).

Very helpful tip, but please can I blend the fruits and vegies(beetroot, carrot, apple, celery, ginger) instead of juicing which will include the ruphages.

Apr 24, 2018 by Saratu

For women in the villages or areas without blender, I recommend the use of local graters. It helps to get the fruits in smaller particles and then extract the juice with water then filter. The major concern here is hygiene. High level of hygiene must be maintained in washing hands and all the other utensils.

Apr 03, 2018 by Vishal

As I don't have a juicer can we eat the pulp of beet root juice or can I store it?

I am a nurse working in Rwanda with women who are HIV positive.

Do you know if the women in a village here can make beet juice without a blender or processor? If the beets are cooked does it reduce the benefit a lot? They really want to do this.

Response: Hi Mary, Thank you for looking after the womens. Beet juise can be made without blender or processor by shredding the beets and squeezing it. However, it will require lot of effort. If you steam cook the beets, it will not reduce its benefits.

I boiled several beets for pickled beets. Is the bright red water the beets were cooked in nutritious? If I blend the 2 leftover cooked beets with the juice, and add celery, apple and carrots, will it be good as an anti-inflammatory? I have arthritis.

Oct 09, 2017 by RodE

Taking advantage of Beetroot being in season, can you freeze the juice? Or can you freeze the beetroot for future use? Many thanks.

Response: Yes, you can freeze the juice for up to 6months but the nutrition value will decrease as the longer you freeze the juice. We recommend consuming fresh juice to get maximum benefits. You can also freeze the cooked beetroot (boiled in water until tender, and then peeled, sliced and stored) for future use.
