Beet Juice Recipe to Boost Your Nutrition Intake and Brighten Your Day!
Bold color and big nutrition. This juice is loaded with some richly colored roots, kicked up with ginger and turmeric and then smoothed out with some oranges. It turns out super red, but don’t let that fool you, it doesn’t taste as earthy (like dirt) as you might imagine a beet juice blend.
With the eternal question of juicing or smoothing, I choose both. I have not gone down the juice cleanse road, although I have heard some amazing things from friends. I look to juicing to complement my diet by getting a concentrated dose of nutrients, QUICK. This allows me to get some of the goodness from greens, roots, and fruits that I likely would not have eaten raw.
When picking out the ingredients for this juice, I go the bulk root produce section. If you go with the less pretty, but organic versions (i.e. bulk beets) you can get this elixir done on a budget. Turmeric can be a little trickier to find, but seems to be at most of the Whole Foods in Chicago. If you cannot get your hands on it, just go for the ginger, it will still be a treat.

Juice recipe with beets, turmeric, and ginger
Ingredients
- 3 carrots
- 3 small to medium sized beets
- 2 oranges
- 2 inch piece of ginger
- 3-4 small pieces of turmeric root
1. Wash all ingredients “no need to peel” with most juicers and cut into pieces small enough to go down the chute. Be careful with the turmeric, it looks like I stained my ceramic knife. SHUX.
2. Juice the carrots.
3. Juice the ginger and turmeric.
4. Juice the oranges and beet. I like to finish with the beets due to my auger style juicer. The fiber / juice ratio of the beets help to drive any stragglers on through.
6. Cap the jar, shake gently.
