HOW TO MAKE BEET JUICE (2 METHODS)

Ingredients:

• 2.5 lb beet

Instructions:

Juicer method

1. Wash the beets well and chop them into 4-8 pieces, depending on their size (small enough to fit your juicer chute).
2. Feed the beets through the juicer chute and let the machine do all the work.

Blender Method

1. Wash the beets well. Chop them down into several pieces (4 or 8, depending on their size).
2. Transfer them to the blender with a 1/4-1/3 cup of water (use the smallest amount first and increase if needed).
3. Blend the beets and water until smooth and juicy.
4. Transfer the mixture to a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer layered with cheesecloth to strain the juice from the pulp.Note that beet juice STAINS, so use materials you don’t mind staining permanently.

Storage Instructions

1. Store: I recommend consuming homemade beet juice immediately for maximum nutrients and freshness. However, any leftovers will store in a covered bottle/ jar in the fridge for a further 1-2 days.Freeze: You can freeze the beets detox juice for 3 months in Ziplock bags, freezer-safe jars, or ice cube trays (depending on the material, expect staining), depending on the portion sizes. Allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
