Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Peel and chop the beetroot into small pieces to make it easier to blend. Beets are known for their blood-boosting properties and are full of antioxidants like betalains that support detoxification.
- Chop the pineapple into chunks. Pineapple adds a refreshing, sweet flavor to the juice while providing digestive enzymes and vitamin C.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
- In a blender, add the chopped beetroot, pineapple chunks, and ginger if you’re using it. Ginger adds a spicy kick and boosts the juice’s anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Pour in 1 cup of water or coconut water to help blend the ingredients smoothly.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend everything on high speed until you get a smooth consistency. If you prefer a thinner juice, add a bit more water or coconut water.
Step 4: Strain (Optional)
- For a smoother juice, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the pulp. If you like it thick and pulpy, you can skip this step to retain more fiber.
Step 5: Add Lemon Juice and Serve
- Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the juice to brighten up the flavors and add an extra dose of vitamin C.
- Pour the juice over ice cubes for a refreshing, chilled drink.
