- 2 small beets: Adds a sweet earthy flavor and a gorgeous deep red color that livens up the juice.
- ¼ baby watermelon (or 2 cups of watermelon): Brings juicy freshness and natural sweetness, along with hydrating benefits.

How to Make Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice Recipe
Step 1: Prep Your Produce
First things first, prep makes all the difference. Cut the watermelon into chunks and remove the rind if you prefer, though the rind is edible if washed well. Wash your beets, berries, and cherries thoroughly. If your beets have tough ends, consider trimming them off for a cleaner taste. Crucially, remove the stems and pits from the cherries to keep your juicer safe and avoid any bitterness or toxins from the pits.
Step 2: Juice the Ingredients
Now for the fun part! Feed your prepped beets, watermelon, berries, and cherries into your juicer. Using a cold press juicer like the Nama J2 will preserve all the vibrant nutrients and flavors. If you’re using a different kind of juicer, chop your produce into smaller pieces to make the process smoother. The magic of this step is watching all those beautiful colors swirl into one delicious juice.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy
Pour your freshly made Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice into glasses filled with ice cubes for a dramatically refreshing experience. You can also chill your produce before juicing to keep the drink cool without diluting it. This recipe yields about 3 cups, perfect for sharing or savoring as a nutrient-rich start to your day or a delicious afternoon pick-me-up.
