Ingredients

1 large raw beet
3 large carrots
1 inch fresh ginger
1 medium apple
½ lemon
1 English cucumber

Instructions

Wash and dry the produce, then cut any pieces that aren't small enough to fit through the chute of your juicer. There's no need to remove any peels or skin from the produce. (The juicer will do that for you!)
Turn your juicer on and run all of the produce through the chute, using the tamper to press it towards the blades. If your juicer has two speed options, juice the hard produce, like beets, apples, and carrots, on "high" speed, and softer produce, like the cucumber, on "low" speed. It's best to sandwich the ginger and lemon between the apple chunks, so the smaller pieces won't fly around the chute.
Enjoy the juice right away. Discard the pulp, or save it for another recipe as mentioned in this post. Fresh juice is best within 30 minutes of making it, but if you need to store any leftovers, fill up an airtight jar all the way up to the top, and then secure the lid, to make sure there's as little air as possible in the container. Store it for up to 24 hours in the fridge.

Notes

Nutrition information is for 1 of 2 servings, but you can drink the whole recipe if you'd like to! It's ultra-hydrating and loaded with nutrients. This information is automatically calculated, and doesn't take into account that much of the fiber is removed during the juicing process.

For lower-sugar juice, you can omit the apple, and even some of the carrots. The cucumber will help dilute the beet flavor on its own.
