Easy How-To

Get Prepped to Juice

Okay, so first thing’s first—gather all your ingredients. You’ll want to wash everything really well, especially the beets because, well, dirt happens! Once they’re clean, peel that beet, slice it, and… oh, don’t forget the ginger! Just peel and chop it, too. I like to get everything ready so I’m not rushing around later.

Juicing Time

Now, let’s juice those beautiful beets! Toss those chunks into your juicer—it’s always fun to watch that stunning color come out. Keep a container nearby to catch all that goodness. After you’ve extracted the juice, move on to the ginger. Just like you did with the beets, juice those ginger pieces until you’ve got nice ginger juice. Mix it into the beet juice. Smells amazing already, right?

Lemon Juice Magic

Next up is the lemon. Cut it in half and squeeze that fresh juice into the beet-ginger mix. I like using a handheld juicer for this, but your good old hands work fine, too! Taste test a tiny bit—adjust as you like. Sometimes it needs a bit more ginger bite or a dash more lemon zing, you know?

Mix and Serve

Give the juice a good stir, mixing it all up till it looks uniform and inviting. I always find that pouring it over ice really elevates it, especially on warm days. So, grab your favorite glasses and fill them up! Just imagine serving this to friends or sipping it slowly while enjoying a quiet moment. Pure bliss.

Good to Know

• Fresh ingredients are key—get the best beets and ginger you can find for the tastiest juice.
• Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the fridge… but try to drink it within a couple of days for optimal freshness.
• If you like a greater zing, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or turmeric for an extra health boost!

Serving Ideas

• Enjoy it chilled, or mix with sparkling water for a fun fizz.

Top Tricks

• If you don’t have a juicer, a blender works too—just blend everything, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
