Prep Time15 minutes mins
Total Time15 minutes mins
Servings: 2 of each juice
Beet Juice
- 2 beets peeled
- 1 cup chopped carrots NOT baby carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 Empire apple
Green Juice
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup chopped kale
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 Empire apple
- 1 inch piece of ginger root
In a blender (you can use a Magic Bullet for a single serving but use half of the above), blend all of the above ingredients for each juice with about a half cup of water until smooth.
There will be a lot of pulp, so using a fine mesh sieve or fine strainer and a bowl underneath to catch the juice, strain the pulp from each juice. You may have to get your hands dirty and squeeze the juice from the pulp itself--there will be a lot of it!
My recommendation is to leave some of the pulp in, but to strain most of it. You will most likely have to double strain each juice. Tip: you can always add some more water to assist in straining.
Juice will be concentrated, so add to a large glass of ice cubes. As the ice cubes melt in the juice, it will become less concentrated and more enjoyable to drink the cooler the juice gets.
Keep in fridge up to 2 days.
