ABC Juice Recipe
ABC juice is a vibrant blend of apples, beets, and carrots, enhanced with the zing of lemon and the spicy kick of ginger. Perfectly smooth and refreshing, it's packed with nutrients and flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 beets, small
- 4 carrots, medium
- 2 red delicious apples, medium
- ½ lemon
- Piece of ginger
Instructions
- Peel the beets and carrots, cut into chunks to fit the juicer chute.
- If using organic apples, do not peel the apple. Just core it and cut into slices
- Peel the skin from the ginger.
- Follow your juicer's instructions to make the juice. I juice the beets, carrots and apple separately, one after the other so that I can have separate pulp for using later. I run the ginger through the juicer as well. Once all these are done, I squeeze the lemon and stir it well in the ABC juice. You can also choose to run the lemon through the juicer after removing the seeds.
- If you don't have a juicer, cut all fruits and vegetables into small chunks add enough water and blend it into a smooth liquid and strain it over a cheesecloth or sieve to remove the pulp and get fresh juice.
Notes
- You can use any type of apples. Each variety of apple will lend a different taste and flavor to the juice.
- Sometimes to make the job even easier I use baby carrots to make this ABC juice.
- The color of this abc juice varies according to the ratio of the ingredients that you use. If beets is used more than carrots the juice will be in dark purple beets like color as against dark reddish orange if carrots are used more.
- You can also add cucumber and celery for additional flavor but I prefer to keep it just the apples, beet and carrots. Sometimes I add mint leaves. That along with the lemon and ginger are the only additions I like in this ABC juice.
- You can store this juice for up to 3 days. I read that we can also store up to a week but I prefer to make them fresh. So I just have it for 2 days at the most in the fridge. Apparently you can freeze it too. I haven't tried it yet.
- I came to know that juice pulp is edible and made these vegan banana carrot muffins using the carrot pulp and chocolate beet muffins using the beet pulp from this abc juice.
