This super healthy juice is sweet, tart and so amazingly delicious!
Here’s a little change of pace you guys.. I know, I know. I’m going from frosted brownies – to chocolateĀ cake – to rice krispie treats and now to a super healthy juice. Just bare with me, k? š Being a food blogger, it’s kind of hard to eat healthy. Normally, when I make a recipe I will just sampleĀ it and make sure it tastes good each time I test it and then I either give the treats away to the neighbors or my family eats them (sorry guys). Unless they are THESE, then all self control goes out the window!
Since the weather has been so amazing the past few days hereĀ in NJ, I’ve been cravingĀ fresh juices like this. When I’m trying to get back on track, this energy beet juice is my absolute FAVORITEEEE and the {only} one I will drink because I can’t do those green juices. I just can’t. BUT, if you do want your greens too, I have made this juice in the juicer and then pouredĀ it in aĀ blender with some greensĀ and blended it up really good and it tastes amazing! So if you want to add some greens, try that method. This juice isĀ super healthy and so ridiculously good for you. Isn’t the color so captivating?! I didn’t edit the pink-ness of these photos – that’s really how pink it is. Not only will this drink make you feel good, but the bright color alone makes me feel good in itself! Also, pretty food just tastes better.
If you want to start getting into juicing, give this juice a try! It is nice and sweet from the apples and carrots,Ā a little tart from the lemon juice, you get a little zing from the ginger and the parsley gives it such a nice flavor. Don’t shy away from the parsley! It’s so good. I don’t like the flavor of beets too much on their own, but all of these flavors on top of it completely masks the taste andĀ you still get the benefits!
Energy Beet Carrot
Ingredients
- 2 beets peeled or washed very well
- 2 large carrots
- 2 golden apples
- juice of one lemon
- 1 " piece ginger root
- 6 parsley leaves
Instructions
- Chop up all of your produce. Juice all ingredients in your juicer according to manufacturer's instructions. Juice is best drank immediately.
- If you don't have a juicer, I have also used a blender with great success. Add all ingredients to your blender and blend EXTREMELY well, 3-5 minutes. Push everything through a fine mesh sieve, making sure to squish all of the juice out and discard the pulp.
Notes
For easy juicer clean-up, place a plastic grocery bag in the pulp container to contain all of the pulp. You can just throw the bag away when you are done instead of having to clean another part.

I got so into juicing a couple years ago that my dad gave me a juicer. I used it religiously for awhile but now I only pull it out a couple times a year to juice apples and pears in the fall. I’m a surprisingly big fan of beets though so I’m going to have to dust it off and try this juice!
You’ve got to! It’s SO good.
What a beautiful color!
Right?! It’s amazing.
Now this is a great pick me up in the middle of the day!
Absolutely!!
Do you use raw beets? Or do you cook them first?
I use raw beets. Washed very, very well or peeled.
I have been falling apart lately and for the first time in 10 years since going vegetarian I have been told I am anemic š However, I have been experimenting with new recipes and I am excited to try this (and maybe hide some spinach in it!)
Oh no, I’m sorry. š You’d love this recipe! As I mentioned in the post portion, sometimes when I make this juice I’ll juice the produce and then dump it all into the blender and add spinach, kale or whatever greens I have on hand and let it run for a few minutes so it’s nice and smooth and it’s perfect!
Love beet juice! We regularly juice and almost always included beets and apples, they’re such a great flavor combo and beets are so healthy. This juice sounds terrific!
Yes! The apples balance out the beet flavor so well. Thanks Kimberly!
The color on this juice is so pretty! I love beets so I would totally love this juice!
You totally would!!
You’re right! Being a food blogger I’m constantly jumping from bad to healthy foods haha. However this is wonderful and I’m in love with the color! I need one of these asap!
Haha same here!!!
Beet is my least favorite food, but by just looking at your Energy Beet Juice, it seems like I can drink a lot of it. Thanks for this amazing recipe, will try this this coming weekend.
