Ingredients Needed

To make this beet orange ginger juice, you’ll need:

• 1 medium beet, roasted, chilled, and peeled
• 1 cup 100% orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
• 1/2-inch knob fresh ginger
• A few drops of olive oil for roasting the beet (optional)

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Wash the beet thoroughly, remove the stem, and trim the ends. Rub the beet lightly with olive oil if desired, then wrap it in foil and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 50 minutes, or until fork tender.

Allow the beet to cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled. Once chilled, remove the foil and peel away the skin.

Add the roasted beet and fresh ginger to a blender and blend until broken down. Pour in the orange juice and lemon juice, then continue blending until smooth and fully combined.

Pour the fresh beet juice over ice and enjoy immediately.
