A refreshing beet carrot apple juice that contains simple ingredients and will keep you going long after you've hit that afternoon slump!
Working from home has its upsides and its downsides. For me, there are more upsides than down, I will never complain about it. Never. I enjoy it very much.
One of my favourite perks is having the luxury of walking to the kitchen and making something from scratch, whenever I feel like it. Like this beet carrot apple juice. Or as I like to call it: My "afternoon slump" juice.
Some days, particularly busy ones, I hit a point in the afternoon where I just feel like this:
It's not just me, right?
Some days, as much as I want to, I can't just turn off my computer and call it a day. Deadlines are constantly calling my name.
Since I don't rely on caffeine to keep me going, one of my alternatives is to get up and make some fresh juice using whatever happens to be in the fridge.
I bought a compact juicer over the holidays, after debating whether I should get one for quite a while (for those of you who have asked, this is the one I bought!).
This was the first juice combo I tried after buying my juicer. Not only is it delicious, but look at the vibrant colour the beets contribute to the juice!
Don't you want to drink this RIGHT NOW?
Beets also happen to be a main ingredient in my favourite Berry Beet Ginger Smoothie (another must-try!).
In addition to the beets, it also has carrots and apples (carrots and apples work so well in pretty much any juice), cucumber which adds a nice fresh flavour, and one of my faves, fresh ginger, which adds a nice little "zing."
Overall, it's sweet and tangy with a little kick from the ginger. You really need to try it to know exactly what I'm trying to describe!
It's a very nice combo. I hope you like it.

Can you make ahead and save it in a glass jar for later? Looks great!
Gwen @ Delightful Adventures says
Hi Tracy! You can definitely make it ahead to have later. Be sure to refrigerate it. AND... don't quote me on this, I do remember reading somewhere that vitamin/mineral content and all of those good things decrease the longer it sits, so the sooner you can drink it, the better! A quick Google search will find you that info. I hope you like it, this is my favourite juicing recipe 🙂
Tracy says
Thanks!!!!
Gwen @ Delightful Adventures says
You're very welcome 🙂
Ayman says
Do we put the raw beets or do we boil them first?
Gwen @ Delightful Adventures says
Hi Ayman, they go in raw.
Bre says
Can you make this with a blender? I do not have a juicer.
Gwen says
Hi Bre, if you make it in a blender, it will be a smoothie, not juice, which will be fine if you don't mind smoothies 🙂 If you do prefer a juice, you can still do it in your blender, but you will have to strain it to get all the pulp and fibre out. Let me know how it goes!

Haha love that Arrested Development GIF. Miss that show!
I wish I had a juicer so I could make this - I love any fresh juice with beets in it! But I don't love paying the $10 price that most places charge.
Gwen says
It's a funny gif, it always makes me laugh 🙂 I waited a really long time to buy a juicer but I was able to get mine during a really great sale. So be on the lookout, you never know. You'll be making them for a fraction of that $10 price 🙂
Ayngelina says
I love all of these things in a salad, must now try it as a drink!
Gwen says
Hope you like it!
Cheryl says
LOL at the video! I feel like that multiple times of the day, every day!
I love beets in juice form and not really in raw or cooked form (roasting it does nothing for me) - this one sounds refreshing especially with the ginger and cucumber. I'll have to try it out soon and see what it does for my energy levels.
Gwen says
Yep, that is me most days 😉 I love beets, my family doesn't...so I have to find ways in which I can still have them outside of meals. This is a perfect way! I hope you try it! If you do, let me know if you like it!
