Serving Size:
12 oz
Ingredients
| beet | 4 oz |
| ginger | 6 oz |
| maca powder | 0.2 oz |
| green apple | 7 oz |
| chia seed | 0.1 oz |
| lemon | 0.3 oz |
Directions
Wash the produce, scrubbing the beets carefully. Remove the tops and bottoms from the beets.
Quarter the lemon (leaving skin on) and place directly into the press. If you don’t have a juice press, peel the lemon and juice with the rest of the ingredients.
Grind the produce, then press.
Mix the maca into the juice.
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.
