Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (sweet-crisp varieties like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp work best)
- 1 medium beet (about 6–8 oz), scrubbed and trimmed
- 1–2 inches fresh ginger, peeled (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 lemon, peeled (or 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice)
- 1–1.5 cups cold water (if using a blender)
- Ice (optional, for serving)
Optional add-ins: 1 small carrot for extra sweetness, a handful of spinach for a green boost, or a pinch of cayenne for heat.
Instructions
Prep your produce. Wash apples and beet thoroughly. Core apples if you prefer. Peel the ginger and the lemon. If using a juicer, cut everything into chunks so that it fits in well. If using a blender, chop into smaller pieces.
Juicer method. Feed the beet, apples, ginger, and lemon through the juicer. Stir the juice well to combine. Taste and adjust with extra lemon or a small slice more ginger if you like a stronger kick.
Blender method. Add chopped beet, apples, ginger, lemon, and water to the blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45–60 seconds. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, or cheesecloth for a smooth juice. Press or squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible.
Chill and serve. Pour over ice if you want it extra cold. Stir before drinking to keep the color and flavor uniform.
Make it your own. If it’s too earthy, add half an apple. If too sweet, add more lemon. For more heat, add another 1/2 spoon of ginger.

What Not to Do
Don’t skip washing. Beets grow in soil and can be full of germs. Scrub well to keep the juice clean and smooth.
Don’t overdo the ginger. A little goes a long way. Too much can overpower the apple and beet and make the juice harsh to your throat.
Don’t peel beets unless you have to. The skin has flavor and nutrients. If they’re clean and fresh, peeling is optional.
Don’t store in open containers. Air exposure dulls the flavor and color. Use airtight glass and fill to the top.
Don’t expect it to be a meal. This is a light, nourishing drink. Pair with protein or healthy fats if you need staying power.
FAQ
Can I make this without a juicer?
Yes. Use a high-speed blender with cold water, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
Press well to get a smooth, clean juice.
Do I need to cook the beets first?
No. Raw beets are ideal for this juice. They blend or juice easily when chopped, and they give fresher flavor and brighter color than cooked beets.
What apples work best?
Sweet-crisp apples like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp balance the beet and ginger.
If you prefer a tarter juice, use Granny Smith or a mix of sweet and tart.
Is this safe for people with kidney stones?
Beets are high in oxalates. If you’re prone to oxalate kidney stones or have been advised to limit oxalates, check with your healthcare provider before adding beet juice to your routine.
Can I make it ahead for the week?
It’s best fresh. If you want to prep ahead, make a double batch and store in two airtight bottles for up to 48 hours, or freeze in portions and thaw overnight in the fridge.
