What is beet apple juice?

Beet apple juice combines the earthy flavor of raw beets with the sweetness of apple. It is a variation of beet juice that you can make with either a juicer or a blender.

A juicer separates much of the pulp from the liquid. A blender keeps the pulp unless you strain it, producing a thicker drink with more of the ingredients’ fiber.

How do you make beet apple juice?

This recipe makes about 2 servings of 1 cup (240 ml) each. The exact amount of water needed will depend on your produce and whether you strain the pulp.

Ingredients

• 150 g raw beet, about 1 cup chopped
• 200 g apple, about 1½ cups chopped, cored and seeded
• Up to 480 ml cold drinking water, about 2 cups, as needed

Wash the beet and apple under running water before cutting them. Scrub the beet well; peel it if you prefer a milder flavor. Leave the apple skin on if you like, but remove the core and seeds.

Juicer method

1. Cut the washed beet and apple into pieces that fit your juicer’s feed chute.
2. Feed the pieces through the juicer according to its instructions.
3. Pour the juice into a measuring jug and add enough cold water to bring it to about 2 cups (480 ml).
4. Stir and divide the beet apple juice between two glasses.

Blender method

1. Chop the washed beet and apple into small pieces to make blending easier.
2. Blend them with ½ cup (120 ml) of the cold water until as smooth as your blender allows.
3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a thinner drink, pressing the pulp gently with a spoon. Skip this step to keep the pulp and more of its fiber.
4. Add enough more water, if needed, to bring the drink to about 2 cups (480 ml), then stir and serve.

If the unstrained blend is already close to 2 cups (480 ml), you may not need more water. Keep in mind that a juicer and a blender produce different textures, even when the final volumes are similar.

What does beet apple juice do?

Beet apple juice provides fluid along with some nutrients from its ingredients. Raw beets contain folate and potassium, while apples contribute carbohydrates and fiber; the amounts in a glass vary with the produce and the preparation method.

Blending and drinking the pulp retains more fiber than straining or using a juicer. Both versions contain naturally occurring sugars, so choose the texture and portion that fit your needs rather than assuming the drink is sugar-free.

Beet apple juice does not cleanse the body. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste. The drink can support hydration, but there is no established detox benefit from this particular recipe.

When is the best time to drink beet apple juice?

There is no proven best time to drink beet apple juice. Have it when it suits you, such as alongside breakfast or a snack.

If the drink tastes too sweet or feels too heavy on an empty stomach, try a smaller portion with food. It does not need to replace a meal or be part of a cleanse.

How should you store beet apple juice?

Drink beet apple juice soon after making it for the freshest flavor. Put any leftovers in a clean, covered container, refrigerate promptly and drink within 24 hours.

Stir or shake the drink before serving because the pulp and liquid may separate. Discard it sooner if it develops an unpleasant smell, looks slimy or otherwise appears spoiled; do not taste it to check whether it is safe.

Who should be careful with beet apple juice?

People who are pregnant, young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems should avoid unpasteurized juice because it can carry harmful bacteria. Washing produce is important but does not make homemade juice sterile.

If you have diabetes, consider the drink’s natural sugars when planning your portion. If you have kidney disease or a history of kidney stones, ask a clinician or dietitian whether beet apple juice fits your dietary needs, since beets contain potassium and oxalates.

Beets can turn urine or stool reddish. Contact a healthcare professional if you notice red urine or stool and are unsure of the cause, or if the color persists. Seek urgent care for red urine accompanied by severe pain, fever or difficulty passing urine.
