Vibrant beetroot, carrot & apple juice

The taste of the earth in a glass. The 'earthy' character of raw beetroot (caused by the compound geosmin) is harmonised by the sweetness of the carrot and the acidity of the apple. This juice is a true nitrate bomb, which converts to nitric oxide in the body to help circulation – it's a favourite of athletes for a reason.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Juicer or slow juicer
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Knife

Instructions

1

Peel the beetroot, carrots, and ginger. Core the apple.

Tip: Although the skin has many vitamins, beetroot skin can add a bitter aftertaste, so it's better to peel it for juice.
2

Cut the vegetables into pieces that fit into the juicer's feed chute.

3

Juice alternately: carrot, beetroot, ginger, apple, lemon.

Tip: The harder vegetables (carrot) help push the softer ones through the machine. Leave the lemon for the end to wash through the flavours.
4

Stir and drink immediately.

Tip: Oxidation (contact with air) begins to break down vitamins and brown the juice within minutes.

Recipe FAQ

It tastes very earthy, how do I tone it down?
With more lemon juice or ginger. The acids and the heat suppress the perception of the geosmin taste.
