There is nothing better than waking up to the fresh, earthy taste of beet juice first thing in the morning! If you are new to juicing, this is a great recipe to start with. The sweetest of the apples and carrots balances out the pungency of the ginger and lemons, while the beet blends all the flavours with its' earthy satisfying taste.

 

Notes about juicing:

• use organically grown produce whenever possible for greater nutrient density and to avoid pesticides and genetic modification
• thoroughly wash all produce before juicing
• peel all citrus fruits (as the peels are bitter and can be toxic); peel fruits and veggies that have been waxed

Ingredients

 

1 inch piece ginger 

1/2 lemon

2 apples

1 beet

6 small carrots (or 3 large)

 

Peel all ingredients and juice in order as listed above. Use lower setting when juicing ginger and lemon, then switch to higher setting for apples, beet and finish with the carrots. Enjoy within one hour maximum of juicing. The more time the juice is exposed to air, the more oxidation will occur and therefore the less nutritious the juice becomes.
