Kitchen Tools You’ll Need
- Juicer (or high-speed blender and a nut milk bag)
- Cutting board
- Sharp chef's knife
- Glasses for serving
Ingredients
- 2 medium Red Beets (peeled and chopped)
- 1 large English Cucumber (chopped)
- 2 ribs Celery (chopped)
- 1 medium Green Apple (cored and sliced)
- 1/2 Lemon (peeled)
- 1 inch Fresh Ginger (peeled)
Preparation
- Prep the Produce: Wash all the produce thoroughly under cold water. Peel the beets, lemon, and ginger. Chop the beets, cucumber, celery, and apple into pieces small enough to comfortably fit through your juicer's chute.
- Juice the Ingredients: Turn on your juicer. Slowly feed the beets, cucumber, celery, apple, lemon, and ginger through the chute. Alternating softer ingredients (like cucumber) with harder ones (like beets) helps prevent the juicer from clogging.
- Stir to Combine: Once all the ingredients have been processed, give the vibrant red liquid a quick stir to ensure the flavors are perfectly melded.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the fresh juice into glasses over ice and enjoy immediately for the absolute best flavor and maximum nutrient retention.
Chef’s Pro Tips for Perfect Results
No Juicer? No Problem: If you don't own a juicer, simply blend all the chopped ingredients in a high-speed blender with 1/2 cup of cold water until smooth. Pour the resulting puree into a nut milk bag or cheesecloth set over a large bowl, and squeeze tightly to extract all the fresh, vibrant juice!
