Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh carrots
Fresh beets (peeled if desired)
Lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Fresh ginger (optional, for a spicy kick)
Water (if blending instead of juicing)

Directions

Using a juicer:

I wash and roughly chop the carrots and beets.
I feed them through my juicer, alternating ingredients if using lemon or ginger.
I stir the juice and serve immediately over ice or chilled.

Using a blender:

I chop the carrots and beets into smaller pieces.
I add them to a blender with water (just enough to help blend smoothly).
I blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove the pulp.
I stir in lemon juice or grated ginger if using, then serve.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings (2 cups).
Prep time: 10 minutes
Juicing/blending time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes

Variations

I add an apple for extra sweetness.
I mix in cucumber or celery for a lighter, more hydrating juice.
I use oranges instead of lemon for a citrusy twist.
I add turmeric root for added anti-inflammatory benefits.
I serve it with sparkling water for a refreshing spritzer.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover juice in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. I shake it well before drinking. This juice is best fresh, but it still tastes great the next day. I don’t reheat it—this juice is meant to be served cold or at room temperature. Carrot Beet Juice

FAQs

Can I make this juice ahead of time?

Yes, I often make it the night before and store it in a sealed jar. I try to drink it within 24–48 hours for the best flavor and nutrient content.

Do I need to peel the beets and carrots?

Not necessarily. I scrub them well and peel only if the skin is tough or dirty. Peeling can mellow the flavor, but it’s totally optional.

Is this juice too earthy?

The beets do have an earthy taste, but I balance it with lemon, ginger, or apple. I adjust ingredients based on my preference for sweetness or brightness.

Can I drink this every day?

Yes, I include it regularly in my routine. It’s rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, and other nutrients that support detox and energy levels.

What type of juicer works best?

A slow masticating juicer extracts more juice and nutrients, but a centrifugal juicer also works well. When I don’t have a juicer, I use a blender and strain.

Conclusion

Carrot Beet Juice is a colorful, nutrient-dense drink that I love to keep in my wellness routine. It’s easy to make, naturally sweet, and full of flavor and health benefits. Whether I’m making it with a juicer or a blender, this juice always leaves me feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
