Making homemade juices allows us to have greater control over the ingredients to add. To make this beet juice, we are going to select fresh beets. We will choose those that are firm, medium in size and with soft skin. On the contrary, we will avoid those that have dark spots or wrinkles, as this may indicate that they are outdated.
For soften the flavor of the juice, you can add other fruits or vegetables to balance it such as apple, carrot, lemon, orange and even ginger root. The combinations are endless.
Experiment with different combinations of ingredients and discover your favorite flavors. There is nothing like the taste and freshness of a homemade juice!

How to make beet juice
We start by washing and peeling 3 beets, making sure to remove any dirt and residue. Peel and cut 1 apple, squeeze 1 lemon and peel and cut 1 piece of ginger.
Next, we place the peeled beet, apple and ginger in the juice extractor or blender and make the juice. We can also put all the ingredients in the glass of a blender and grind them finely. To achieve a finer texture in this case, we can strain the juice or leave it as is.
Once it is ready, we add the lemon juice or if we prefer, 50 ml of water to help soften the flavor of the beet juice.
We serve our juice in glasses, add an ice cube or let it rest for a few minutes in the refrigerator, so that it is cold.
And ready to enjoy!
