Natural beetroot juice
ingredients
one medium beet
an Apple
a carrot
half a lemon
Method of preparation
To prepare the juice you must first wash all the ingredients, clean the apple and remove the central part, then squeeze the lemon. Personally I insert the lemon (after cleaning it) directly into the juicer.
Although it can give a more sour taste to the juice obtained, it is recommended to use squeezed lemon to avoid oxidation of the other ingredients.
If you want to diversify beet juice recipes, you can replace the apple in this recipe with carrots, ginger, or other citrus fruits.
