Ingredients

  • 4 beets (fresh and washed)
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice (fresh)

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing the beets and removing the stems, saving the stems and leaves to make sautéed beet greens.
  • If the beet is too large to pass through the feeder tube of the juicer, slice the beet into pieces to fit.
  • Turn on the juicer to high and using the plunger, press the beets through the juicer, catching the juice in a pitcher as it is extracted.
  • Add a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the beet juice to help minimize oxidation.

Notes

How to make beet juice without a juicer

  1. Wash, peel and remove the leaves and stems from the fresh beets.
  2. Using a box grater, grate the beet to shreds.
  3. In a food processor or blender, pulse the shredded beets and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  4. To strain the beet juice, press the puree through a fine mesh strainer or two layers of cheesecloth.
