Ingredients

beet 4 oz 113 g 1 small beet

Directions

  1. Wash the produce, scrubbing the beets carefully. Remove the tops and bottoms from the beets.

  3. Grind the produce, then press.

  4. Mix the maca into the juice.

  5. Add the chia to the serving glass or bottle and pour the juice on top.

Pro Tips

  • No need to peel the ginger, it actually has a light gingery flavor and some nutritional value as well.

  • Adjust to your taste! You can add less apple for more punch, or more apple to make it like a cider.

  • When juicing with beets you need to be slightly cautious, if you add a touch too much beet, it can turn the blend into syrup.
