    Beet Juice Surprise | Liver Cleansing Juice!

    This delicious beet juice recipe will help to cleanse your liver. A beet juice for people who don't like beets!

    Beet Juice Surprise Liver Cleansing Juice

    I am going to tell you something right in the beginning - I can't stand beets....but I DO love this Beet Juice Surprise!

    Seriously - whenever I tell anyone that this is my favorite juice, they will usually tell me that I would just LOVE the way they prepare beets.  Nope - not going to happen.  You can roast them, pickle them, saute them....I'm not going to like them!

    But I do recognize how good for you beets are and I have been having some health issues that, according to Dr. Google, could be helped with beets (among other things - don't worry -I am seeing a doctor and we are trying to figure everything out!).  Some of you may remember when I did a 10 Day Juice Fast a while ago and one of the juices that I was supposed to drink was beet-based and I just about gagged.

    Another great way to get lots of nutrients in to your body quickly?  This spinach lemonade!
    Another great way to get lots of nutrients in to your body quickly? This spinach lemonade!

    That's why I call this beet juice recipe "Beet Juice Surprise" - because you will be surprised at how much you like it!  The grapefruit and lime do a nice job of cutting the "earthy" flavor of the beets.  I always have a batch of this in my refrigerator (or the ingredients to make a batch).

    So why do I call this a liver-cleansing juice (that is also good for your gallbladder)?  Because of what is in it:

    • Beets & Carrots - both are very high in beta-carotene and plant-flavonoids which (among other things) promote healthy liver function
    • Grapefruit & Lime - the high amounts of vitamin C and antioxidents help to naturally flush toxins from the liver
    • Apples - high in pectin, they help to cleanse and release toxins in the digestive tract....making it easier for the liver to do it's job!

    This recipe has evolved over time.  When I first started making it, I would only add 1 or 2 small beets (about the size of a golf ball).  These days, I use a beet about the size of a baseball (or the equivalent in smaller beets, depending on what is available).  If you aren't used to the taste, you might want to start with the small beets.  Additionally - make sure to scrub your beets well.  The ones that I buy tend to have a fair amount of dirt on them.

    This beet juice recipe will make about 32 oz of juice using my Breville Juice Fountain.  Depending on how good a job your juicer does, you might get a little more or less juice out of it.

    You can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for about 2 or 3 days (although I drink it all in 2 days).  Just make sure to give it a stir before you pour it in your glass because it WILL separate!

      Very informative! Typically I wouldn't eat beets, however, I wouldn't be surprised if I liked it in a juice form. Thank you for sharing on #HomeMattersParty!

      I actually like beets! So I would probably love this. I am on a cleanse right now so I may add this to the plan. Thanks for sharing!
