When I first purchased the juicer, I had many conversations with my friend J about what kinds of juices to try (she’s been juicing for a while now). I was getting a bit bored of making the same juice every day, so she suggested a beet and carrot juice.
I immediately declined to try it. I don’t like carrot juice.
I am so glad that J encouraged me to give it another try with a few other yummy ingredients! I could barely taste the carrot juice and still got all the fantastic benefits of drinking carrot juice! The apple give it some nice sweetness. And I loved the suggestion to finish it off with some fresh ginger!
YUM! I think this is my new favourite juice!

/ December 11, 2013It certainly is a beautiful color. For me it would be “Does it taste like beets?” Carrot juice I love, but beet juice – not so much. I’m sure the combination of all of those flavors really made this juice delicious! glad to see you’re having fun! 🙂

/ December 14, 2013I really enjoy vegetable juices but rarely make them; the colours of your juices is very pretty and festive. Thanks for dropping by my blog again and commenting.

/ January 30, 2016I love vegetable juice, especially beet juice, it’s so good! I also suggest adding something acidic to cut out the bitter taste of any vegetables, such as lemon or lime juice. Another great juice is wheatgrass, it’s so good for you.
Would you ever drink this as a smoothie?
