Beet Apple Blender Juice
A small portion of raw beet gives this apple-led drink an earthy edge and a deep magenta color. Finely dicing the beet helps a home blender handle the firm flesh; the pulp stays in the glass.

- 01
Wash the apple and scrub the beet before peeling it. Weigh 80 g beet flesh after trimming; cut it into small dice. Core and weigh 100 g apple with its skin.
- 02
Add the water and lemon juice to the blender, followed by the beet and apple. Blend on low to move the pieces, then on high for 60–90 seconds until the texture is uniformly fine.
- 03
Pause and scrape down the sides if needed. Pour the entire unstrained batch into a large glass, including the pulp; stir before drinking.

Easy swaps
- Replace 50 g of the apple with 50 g peeled orange flesh for a sharper fruit note; retain that pulp too.
- For a milder beet flavor, use 40 g beet and 140 g apple. This changes the ingredient balance and nutrition.
Mixpert tips
- A powerful blender gives a finer texture; a small blender may need several short cycles.
- Raw beet stains surfaces, so rinse the jug and board promptly.

Beet Apple Blender Juice FAQs
Can I strain this beet apple juice?
You can strain it for a smoother drink, but the displayed estimate counts all the beet and apple pulp. It would overstate retained fiber after straining; no strained-version nutrient panel is supplied.
Why does my beet apple juice taste earthy?
Raw beet has a pronounced earthy flavor. Keep the measured apple and lemon in the blend, and use the smaller-beet variation if that flavor is too strong for you.
Do I need to cook the beet for this blender juice?
The reference version uses raw peeled beet in very small dice. Cooked beet has a softer texture and different composition; it is a possible variation rather than the preparation used for these estimates.
