Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and chopping the beetroot, cucumber, and pineapple into small pieces. Grate the fresh ginger and set aside.
-
Make the Puree: Add the chopped beetroot, cucumber, pineapple, and grated ginger into a blender or juicer. Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a fresh fruit and vegetable puree.
-
Strain the Juice: Using a fine strainer or cheesecloth, strain the puree into a bowl to separate the juice from the pulp. This will give you a smooth, refreshing juice.

Re-blend the Pulp: Donβt discard the pulp! Add it back into the blender, pour in the cold water, and blend again. This will help extract any remaining juice and flavor from the pulp.

Final Strain: Strain the mixture again and combine both portions of juice in the bowl.

Add Lemon Juice: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to add a zesty kick to your juice.
