Fresh Organic Beet, Carrot, Apple & Ginger Juice | Recipe

Market Monday: Pretty n’ PINK Juice Print Recipe

Juicing makes me insanely happy.

It’s usually green, but I had to hold back on posting yet ANOTHER green recipe, so I went with more of a beginner juice – maybe a good option for those who can’t get on the green juice/smoothie bandwagon.

I’m a big believer in “a juice a day, keeps the doctor away.” So far, it’s proven to be true for me.

Health Benefits of Juicing

It’s another way to get in your fruits and vegetables
Gives you a concentrated dose of vitamins & enzymes, which are usually killed off by the heat in the cooking process
Fresh juice is easier for the body to digest than whole fruits and vegetables
Juicing extracts as much nutrients from the fruits and vegetables as possible without activating the body’s digestion
Promotes weight loss, increases energy and longevity

Juicing VS. Blending – one is not better than the other, both are very different, but very good for you!

Two different devices – Juicer and a blender
Juicing removed fiber. Blending give you fiber.
Carrots, celery, apples, fennel, etc. are better juiced than blended. Avocado, milk, berries, etc. are better blended – in my opinion
Blending is a way to get solid nutrition – this is good for those with sensitive bellies to get full meals

Ever since I was sick, I have a difficult time eating certain fruits and vegetables.

I’ll cook, steam, roast, and sometime blend them. Anyway I can get them into my body without having a reaction or causing discomfort and I’m a very happy girl.

It wasn’t until recently that I got into juicing and now, I can’t go a day without one.

Good news for those who don’t have a juicer, you can get one without spending a fortune.

This is our basic juicer. It’s nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

If you have a juicer that you love and recommend, please include it in the comment section below that those who are interested will have something to consider or compare.

I’m considering doing a week of juicing on the blog. You interested?

It won’t be until the end of February or early March, so you have plenty of time to pick up a juicer.

ps. my girlfriend mentioned that she can’t get her daughter to jump on board with the green smoothies, but PINK. Bring it!

Gorgeous. Now if only I had a fairy to do my juicer clean up for me

Mmm such a pretty, healthy, combination!

wow, what a gorgeous color!

Confirms…need a juicer. Blender just won’t cut it! Love your pics. Are you just using a blackboard as a background…clever! xo E

Definitely would love to read a week of juicing!
Sally @ Spontaneoushausfrau

I have a Breville Juice Fountain Plus that I got through Amazon. I’d originally gotten the Breville Elite from Williams Sonoma, but ended up returning it. The one I have now is half the cost and works just as well.

Bring on the juice recipes. I am on day one of a Blue Print Cleanse and would like to incorporate more juicing into my life after the cleanse is over, so I would love to have more recipes.

Just pour that down my throat, coo?

I’m up for the week of recipes, YES please! I’ve been doing a green smoothie a day via the blender and I definitely notice a difference in my overall health and energy level (bonus, the kids love ‘em!). I do have a juicer but just never get it out. This is persuading me though — love the pink
Estelle

This is a beautiful post! Love the pink and yes, juicing is highly addictive. I have a juicing attachment to my food processor that works pretty well but I’m tempted to make the plunge to a real juicer. Just sort of wanting to avoid yet another “thing” in my kitchen. Bring on your juicing recipes!

I wish I was that clever, it’s actually just a dark wood table.

I know, the cleaning held me back from juicing for almost a year. Once I got into it and realized how happy it made it, the cleaning then became a breeze!

Love that color! So gorgeous!
Katie

Isn’t beet juice the pretties thing you’ve ever seen?! I am giddy every single time I see it staining a big glass of green vegetables. I can’t wait to try this combo.
Katie L Davis

I know it is best to drink right away but is there a time limit on how long the juice will last? I am not a eat right away person for breakfast and want to incorporate juices but i am at work by the time i get hungry. Any suggestion?
Anonymous

It’s best to drink it right away – could be a good thing to put into your stomach first thing in the am. However, if time doesn’t allow, you can seal in an airtight jar/container and store in fridge for 24 hours [no more than 2 days] – but won’t be as full of nutrients as it would within the first 15 minutes of being made.
Carly Allegri

Yum! I love beets. I just did carrot, ginger, grapefruit the other day – another pink one that’s yummy – give it a try!

Love this post. I’m sipping my kale, banana, berry, and almond butter smoothie as I read! We’ve been toying around with the idea of getting a juicer because, as you mentioned, some foods will work better in juice form than blended (carrots, apples). All the info on what kind of juicer to buy is so overwhelming! Heard Breville is good. You’ve had luck with your Krups? Likes? Dislikes? Anyone else have suggestions?
Kaileen Elise

This looks delicious! I started juicing at the beginning of the year & have incorporated it into my daily routine. I’m excited to explore more of your juicing recipes… it always helps to have some inspiration.
Jessica

I don’t have a juicer, but I do have a blender and a food processor. I notice this recipe says a juicer is required. Could you use a food processor instead?

Would LOVE the week of juicing…I’m just getting started myself & trying out a few different things to see what works for me. I love hearing about all the different combinations & it’s such an easy way to get veggies into my diet…fruit, I do well…but veggies aren’t as easy

Love the color!

Love the idea of a week dedicated to juicing! I got a juicer for Christmas this year and I am totally hooked. Better than coffee in the morning.
Ginger Bellerud-Corthell

Yes! Please do a week of juicing! I’ve just decided to get a juicer, as I’ve been having digestive issues and would love to have some more inspiration!
Torybsee

I’m coming back to this one just as soon as I get a juicer!
Alexis Anderson

Looks so yummy. So many of my fave bloggers have been on a juicing kick lately, it definitely has captured my curiosity. Do you juice in lieu of a meal or inbetween? I’d love to read about some of your healthiest smoothie recipes as well as we have a blender currently, but not a juicer. Thanks!! Great pics by the way.

We are new, avid juicers and bought the Breville Compact Juicer! It’s easy to use, powerful and easy to clean. Now we juice every day! Would love to read a week’s worth of juicing recipes!
http://glitzglamgranola.com/ Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola

A week of juicing sounds awesome!! This post makes me think that I need to pick up a juicer asap! This looks delicious and such a great way to get vitamins in a natural way!
Joannabythesea

Breville Ikon juicer, and love it! A week of juicing blogs, or a week juice fast?

I found this post EXTREMLY helpful. My husband and I have been wanting to get into juicing, but everything green makes me nervous lol. Also, thanks for the tip on an affordable juicer

I love juicing too! And although I didn’t think I liked beets, I love them juiced!
http://twitter.com/gourmandeinthek Sylvie

I’m all about juicing lately too, it makes you feel so good. I’m with
Averie though, really wish there was a juicer cleaning fairy! But you’re right, it’s worth the effort in the end.
Brenda

The color is gorgeous. When I saw there’s ginger in it, too, you got me! Yum!
Guest

I don’t own a juicer but do own a VitaMix and wouldn’t trade it for anything! I love the fact that I get the whole food in it. Would love to do the week of juicing. I’m really trying to get back into my green smoothies & eat better.
Brhrueth

Hey! Can you make a big batch of this & serve over a couple of days? I made some yesterday morning with golden beets & it was just as delicious. Bast part, my picky-eating husband didn’t even know the difference. Thanks for sharing!

We use our Breville Juicer daily!
http://www.lotusartichoke.com/ Justin (Lotus Artichoke)

I love your photos and graphics! And this is a juice we make almost every day here in our kitchen… often times with some parsley and celery, too. The pulp is perfect for veggie burgers or faux-meat balls!
http://www.facebook.com/casandra.cushman Cassandra Cushman

i have a breville juice fountain and it is AMAZING, it juices the fruits and veggies so fast with little pulp left over compared to other juicers, i started off with a Jack Lelane and it was good to start with, but i much prefer my breville hope that helps
BigBird

Ive just started juicing again…. 1-2 a day I have Juice a vegetable with an apple through it. That was my dinner tonght. With too many health issues, and constantly tired I am hoping this will build me up again and take off a few kilos. My Old juicer has just packed up.. anyone recommend a good not so expensive Juicer please
Bree

Sooooo yummy! Thanks so much! More recipes please!
Bree

Bought an Omega Vert today, and I already am in looooove!
http://www.facebook.com/iamblessedfromgod Misty R Mitchell

Sorry but that was nasty. Taste like dirt. Won’t be making this one again.
WithStyleGrace

yes, you can surely make a big batch and enjoy over a 24-48 hour period, but wouldn’t recommend going longer than that.
WithStyleGrace

sorry you didn’t like this. next time if you need it a little more sweeter, you can always add more apples, such as fuji.
http://www.facebook.com/htbennett Holli Tracy Bennett

this may be a silly question, but do you peel the lemon?
WithStyleGrace

not silly at all! I don’t peel the lemon, but some do if it’s not organic.
