For those in the know, red juices are not just about their vibrant color; they're a fantastic blend of beets, fruits, and sometimes even a hint of spice to kickstart your day. With every sip, you get a combination of earthy flavors, natural sweetness, and a hint of tartness. We have loved our green juice and our watermelon juice and our excited for a new recipe.

Last week, after numerous trials and experiments, I finally nailed the perfect red juice recipe. And the best part? I’m sharing it with you today!

Why This Red Juice Recipe is the Bomb

Tips:

• The Beet Magic: Beetroot juice alone has been associated with tons of benefits. It’s not just about its taste but the color that gives your drink that vibrant hue.
• Vitamin Packed: This juice is a powerhouse of vitamin C from oranges and vitamin A from carrots.
• Juicer Matters: I always emphasize the importance of having a good juicer. A masticating juicer is ideal for extracting the most out of your produce, but centrifugal juicers also do the trick.
• All about Freshness: Always use fresh fruit and veggies. Raw beets and oranges, when fresh, give the best flavors. Remember how we always love the contents of the blender when they're super fresh?
• Versatility: Feel like tweaking the recipe? Throw in a green apple or a granny smith apple to balance the sweetness. Add mint leaves for that extra zing or lemon juice for a citrusy punch.
