This is such a tasty detox beet juice recipe that is naturally refreshing and made to support optimal health. It is one of my favorite fresh pressed juices and detox drinks that comes together in as little as 10 minutes with apples, beets, and carrots!
Seriously, you can't "beet" this detox beet juice recipe! Nitrate-rich beetroot is a food that has huge health benefits. This beautiful vibrant magenta colored vegetable is great for turning into beet fries, roasted beets and beet salad, and when eaten raw and juiced it delivers powerful antioxidants.
Why This Recipe Works
Click to see the technique science
- Fresh produce is the whole game. When making any fresh pressed juice, the key is to make sure the ingredients are fresh. I suggest buying the produce within a day or two of using.
- The juicer does the cleanup. Add the prepped produce and the juicer will discard the unnecessary parts. Yay!!!
- Coconut water is the blender helper. It is used in the blender to help it mix and add nutrients, so if using a juicer, you can skip the coconut water as an option.
- A nut bag separates the fibers. After blending, the grindy fibrous parts strain away so the body absorbs the nutrients quickly.
- Beets cleanse the blood. Beets are especially known for lowering blood lipids, glucose, and pressure, and they are rich in antioxidants and nutrients such as folate, pectin fiber, and iron.
- Drink it fresh. Beet juice is best stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 1-2 days. If the juice settles and separates, shake or stir it first.

Key Ingredients
- Beets - the star of the show!
- Apple - I am a big believer in an apple a day keeps the doctor away! Apples are great for digestion and, like ginger, help to stimulate the digestive tract.
- Carrots - rich in beta carotene, fiber, potassium and antioxidants. They add a delicious amount of fiber and sweetness to beet juice.
- Ginger - used for thousands of years as an anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant. It is also excellent mixed with pineapple in this pineapple juice recipe.
- Lemon - high in vitamin C and one of the best natural remedies for cough. It adds a punch of flavor that brings out the carrots and beets natural sweetness.
- Coconut Water - the body's most beloved form of hydration thanks to the high amounts of potassium it contains. It adds a touch of natural sweetness.
- Parsley - fantastic for improving digestion!
As always, please see recipe card below for full ingredient list.
Variations
- Add greens - spinach is a fabulous way to detox. If you want more nutrients you can add a small handful of either spinach, chard, mint or parsley to the mix.
- Juicer version - skip the coconut water; it is only needed to help the blender mix.
- Make it a shot - concentrated wellness in a sip, like my ginger turmeric shot.
- Rotate your juices - alternate with carrot juice or cabbage juice through the week.
How to Make Homemade Beet Juice
1Prep the produce: apple with core removed and halved, beets with skins and stems removed, carrots peeled with stem removed, ginger with skin removed, and a whole lemon (slice off the ends first and cut off all of the skin and rind). For equipment I recommend one of these best juicer blender combo appliances - personally I use my Vitamix constantly and love it.
2Add everything with the coconut water to the blender or juicer. Juicer method: the juicer will discard the unnecessary parts. Yay!!!
3Blender method: blend until smooth like a fine puree.
4Use a nut bag or mesh bag and separate the grindy fibrous parts from the liquid. Use a funnel to pour into two glasses, or one large glass, and enjoy fresh.
Expert Tips and Side Effects
- Once a day is enough for this detox drink.
- Drink it within 1-2 days, stored in the refrigerator, and shake first if it separates.
- Beets dye everything. They excrete lots of red which can dye skin, clothes, furniture and... bowel movements. Yes, I said it. Do not be alarmed if stools are discolored red, this is from the beets. Stools may also be looser as they remove toxins from the body.
- Buy produce fresh, within a day or two of juicing, for the best flavor and nutrients.
Serving Ideas
Pour it over ice for a morning wellness drink, or serve alongside an apple cider vinegar drink rotation. It also makes a beautiful brunch drink next to a fresh mango juice or watermelon juice for the kids.

Jackie says
Hi!
How many times a day should I consume the juice and for how long?
Thanks!
Danielle Fahrenkrug, Certified Health & Nutrition Life Coach says
Jackie, just enjoy one glass once a day. There is no right or wrong way to drink it as it is natural produce but for benefits up to 60 days. Always double check with your doctor too if you have any concerns.
Karen says
Should the beets be cooked first?
Danielle Fahrenkrug says
Hi Karen! The beets do not need cooking, just add them raw. If using a juicer you can leave the skin on, just wash them well as the juicer separates it. If using a blender remove the skin first with a vegetable peeler.
