Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
2 medium beets, peeled and chopped
1 small apple, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ cup cold water, as needed
Directions
I start by washing, peeling, and chopping all the vegetables and fruit into juicer- or blender-friendly pieces.
If I’m using a juicer, I run the carrots, beets, and apple through it, then stir in the lemon juice at the end.
If I’m using a blender, I add everything to the blender with the water and blend until completely smooth. I strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag if I want a smoother juice.
I serve it immediately while it’s fresh and vibrant.

I store leftover juice in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. I shake it well before drinking and always serve it cold. I don’t reheat juice.
