85 kcal Carrot Beetroot Detox Juice

September 9, 2022

INGREDIENTS

1 beet large
2 cups pineapple in chunks
5 carrots small, 3 mediums
1 inch ginger length piece fresh, scrubbed clean
½ lime or lemon, without the rind

DIRECTIONS

PREPARE THE VEGETABLES and FRUITS

Wash all your vegetables and fruits thoroughly.
Cutaway the tops of the carrots.
Chop the beet, pineapple, and ginger into thin pieces small enough to go through the juicer easily.
Cutaway the peel from the lime or lemon, leaving most of the white pith and lime flesh. Cut into slices.

MAKE JUICE

Reserve about half of the lime.
Turn the juicer on and push everything through, alternating between the pineapple chunks and the firmer carrots, beet, and lime.
When everything but the reserved lemon has been juiced, stir the juice and taste for tartness. Add the remaining lime if you feel it can take it. Or, if the juice is too tart, consider adding a couple of scrubbed unpeeled carrots or a cored apple.

NOTES

Gus TIPS Make-ahead: Fresh fruit and vegetable juice is best enjoyed soon after juicing, but you can make it a day or two in advance. Make sure to store in glass, airtight containers. In case you have used a cold-pressed juicer, you are cashing up the expense! It should last a little longer.
