Ingredients and substitutions

How to make beet juice
Step 1: Wash the produce.
Wash all ingredients.
Step 2: Prep the ingredients.
Trim ends, remove stems and peel lemons.
Step 3: Juice the ingredients.
With the juicer running, slowly feed in the produce one piece at a time.
Step 4: Collect the juice.
Juice will flow into the pitcher while pulp collects separately. Save the pulp if you want extra fibre.
Step 5: Bottle the juice.
Pour the juice into a container of your choice.
Step 6: Store in the fridge.
Keep juice in sealed containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Recipe Tips & Variations
Here are some ways for you to get the most out of your beet juice and keep it tasting fresh every time.
- Juice slowly: Feed the produce slowly through your juicer to extract more juice and reduce waste.
- Strain for a smoother texture: If you prefer your juice pulp-free, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- Try different combinations: Swap apples for pears or use both, add cucumber for a milder juice, or toss in a handful of spinach or kale for extra greens.
- Adjust the ginger: Start with a small amount and add more if you like a spicier kick.
- Use the pulp: Don’t toss it! Add it to muffins, soups or compost.

Easy Beet Juice Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 beets ends chopped off, washed
- 6 carrots ends chopped off, washed
- 6 celery stalks washed
- 2 apples washed
- 2 inch piece ginger root washed
- 2 lemons peeled and diced
Instructions
- Wash produce well to remove any soil, trimming the ends/leaves off of beets and carrots, and removing any apple stems or citrus peels.
- Add a pitcher or container under juicer spout. With the motor running, place produce bit by bit into the feed chute of the juicer, using the food pusher to gently and slowly guide the produce down. The slower you go, the more juice you will get. I use the Breville cold press juicer linked to above this recipe card.
- As fruit and veggies are processed, juice will flow into the pitcher, and the separated pulp will accumulate in the pulp container. You can save some of the pulp to add back into the juice for a bit of fibre if you desire, or you can discard it.
- Once juice of choice has been made in your pitcher, you should end up with approximately 1200 mL (40 fl oz) of juice. Divide the pitcher among five 8 oz glass bottles.
- Juice will keep up to 4 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
- BLENDER METHOD: Add all ingredients plus 1 cup of water. Close the lid and blend on medium-high speed until everything is fully blended. Strain through a fine mesh strainer then serve.
