Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 medium beets, scrubbed clean and tops trimmed
  • 1 medium seedless (hothouse or English) cucumber, rinsed
  • 1-inch length piece fresh ginger, scrubbed clean
  • 1 medium lemon

Instruction

  • Chop the beets, cucumber and ginger into thin pieces small enough to easily go through the juicer.
  • Cut away the yellow peel from the lemon, leaving most of the white pith and lemon flesh. Cut into slices and remove any seeds.
  • Reserve about half of the lemon. Turn the juicer on and push everything through, alternating between the beets and the softer cucumber and lemon.
  • When everything but the reserved lemon has been juiced, stir the juice and taste for tartness.
  • Add the remaining lemon if you feel it can take it. Or if the juice is too tart, consider adding a couple scrubbed unpeeled carrots or a small cored apple.
