Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice Recipe
Introduction
This watermelon cherry berry beet juice blends the vibrant flavors of red fruits and vegetables into a refreshing, nutrient-packed drink. It’s naturally sweet, hydrating, and perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast boost.
Ingredients
- 2 small beets
- ¼ baby watermelon (or 2 cups of any watermelon, cubed)
- 1 ½ cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, red currants, and raspberries)
- ½ cup pitted cherries
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your produce by cutting the watermelon and removing the rind if desired (make sure to wash thoroughly if you keep the rind). Wash the beets, berries, and cherries. Leave the berries and beets whole, though you can trim beet ends if you like. Remove stems and pits from the cherries carefully, as cherry pits are toxic and can damage your juicer.
- Step 2: Add all the ingredients to your juicer and extract the juice. If using a different type of juicer, you may need to cut the watermelon and beets into smaller pieces and feed them in one by one.
- Step 3: Pour the juice into glasses or jars. For a cooler drink, add ice cubes or refrigerate the produce before juicing. This recipe yields about 750 mL (3 cups), enough for 3 small servings or 2 larger ones.
Tips & Variations
- You can substitute the watermelon with 3 to 4 blood oranges for a citrus twist.
- Adjust the amount of beets to make the juice more or less earthy to your taste.
- If cherries are unavailable, increase the berries or watermelon quantity instead.
- Try adding small amounts of tomatoes or red bell peppers for a unique flavor, but do so cautiously to avoid overpowering the juice.
- Use a cold press or slow juicer for the best nutrient retention and flavor.
Storage
Store the juice in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the juice in ice cube trays and thaw as needed. Fresh juice is best enjoyed immediately for optimal flavor and nutrients.
