Remember my post about broccoli juice? This beetroot juice is another favorite! Though I must admit that I’ve learned to love it … it is really all about how and what you combine it with. We have added orange and ginger to make it taste more fresh and sweet. Strawberries and beetroots are also an interesting combo that we’ve tried. Except for having a beautiful color, beetroots are also rich in vitamin A, B and C and the minerals calcium, magnesium, iron and a lot more! Beetroot cleans your body and purifies your blood. What are you waiting for?!

Beetroot juice
2 glasses
2 small beetroots (small to medium beetroots have the sweetest flavour)
3 oranges
a piece of fresh ginger
ice cubes
Mix all the ingredients in a juice machine, if you use organic beetroot and ginger you don’t have to peel them. Pour it into glasses, add ice cubes, stir and serve. You can also add 1 tbsp wheatgrass powder to boost your energy!
If you don’t have a juice machine try this beetroot smoothie instead.

This looks very intriguing. I’ve never tried a beetroot smoothie. What a nice mix of flavours. I might try this one. Thanks for inspiration.
Beautiful juice…..my favourite too. It’s colourful , refreshing and delicious.
That is an amazingly beautiful color!
I adore adding beetroot to smoothies – beetroot and raspberries with carrot is a favorite combination! I’ve also known to make beetroot smoothies with a little carob or cocoa powder, avocado, and spinach – like a chocolate shake
My 2 year old son loves beetroot, apples and blueberries. Another favorite is orange and carrots. I’ve never tried broccoli, though… he hates it so much that I think he will taste it on the juice.
This looks pretty tasty and it’s sooo darn good for you too! The strawberries, ginger, and banana probably add such a delicious flavor the the beets! Cheers~
This recipe sounds disgustingly delicious!!!! I’m definitely trying it! :0)
Thanks everyone!
We’ll publish the recipe sometime this week!
Wow, a 2 year old who loves beetroot, wonderful! I just made veggie burgers with beetroot and golden millet, maybe he love those as well
It’s so funny! I was JUST talking about beet juice with a friend the other day… Love beets! But be forewarned: my friend od’ed on beet juice, literally! Granted, she drank a whole 16oz (about ½ litre), but it turns out that that’s too much iron in one shot!
I love beetroots and this juice looks yum! I just bought the same Philips juicer 2 days ago and am patiently waiting for my organic box to arrive so I can start juicing!
