Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Carrots
Beets
Water
Fresh lemon juice (optional)
Ginger (optional for an extra zing)

Directions

I start by washing and peeling the carrots and beets thoroughly.
Then I chop them into small pieces so they’re easier to blend or juice.
In a juicer, I combine the chopped carrots and beets and process them until smooth.
- If I’m using a blender, I add water to help it along and blend until smooth.
I strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice.
I like to add a splash of lemon juice and a bit of grated ginger for an extra boost, but that’s optional.
I pour into a glass and serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings. It takes approximately 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish. No cooking is required.

Variations

I sometimes mix in apple for added sweetness or cucumber for a more hydrating version. For a spicy twist, I’ll include a pinch of cayenne. If I want a smoother texture, I blend it with coconut water instead of plain water.

storage/reheating

I like to store any leftover juice in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 48 hours, though it’s best consumed within 24 hours for maximum nutrients. I don’t reheat this juice—it’s meant to be enjoyed cold or at room temperature. Carrot Beet Juice
