When I was a little boy, my grandmother always wanted to stuff me with beetroot. She always said, “Eat as much as you can because it protects you from all the illnesses.” And she served me a kind of salad which tasted awful, at least for me. And of course, after having a few spoonful, I let it on the table.
If she had made a fresh beetroot juice, I would have had more of it for sure. But you know, she did not know anything about juicing that time.
Now I know how powerful this vegetable is, and we have it at least once a week, mainly in the form of juice with beets.
Beet is undoubtedly a superfood that holds tons of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. Also, it has its dark purple or red color from the phytochemicals is contains.
Drinking beet juices supports your health in several ways.
- Lower the risk of cancer.
- Boost your stamina, libido and endurance.
- Natural treatment for high blood pressure.
- Reduce and cure inflammation in your body.
- Make detoxification faster and more efficient.
- Lowers cholesterol.
- Improve your immune system
- Support blood generation.
- Improve brain function.
I know only a few people who consume beetroot drinks mainly because they do not like the taste of it.
Are you among them? You will not be anymore if you try the following homemade beets juicing recipes.
How to make beets juice?
Beet has a pretty solid flesh, so you surely need a powerful juicer that cuts it into tiny pieces to get the liquid out of it. We use the Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer, and it works well for us.
Prepare the beets thoroughly. Do not forget to wash the beets thoroughly to remove the soil. I use a brush, but you can also peel them. And use a piece of cloth that you do not need anymore, since the red liquid stain everything.
Then, cut them into smaller pieces and you put them into your juicer with other veggies and fruits to make your drink tastier.
Below you can find 10 juices with beetroot that we love to have with my family.

Loved the story about how you didnt like the awful taste of the beetroot salad, that’s remind me a story I heard somewhere. this story highlights the importance of drinking juices every day. Juicing has many benefits like you said in the post (it includes vitaminx, minerals, antioxidants and fiber.) , Also I realy liked the recipes you shared with us, I hope to give it a try sometime.
Thanks for your post.

Love the way you describe how bad beetroot tastes, but it infused with tons of vitamins and minerals. Tbh I’m not a big fan of beetroot, but since I was diagnosed with low blood count, I need to eat/drink this veg more than ever, I’m starting to enjoy drinking beetroot-carrot-apple juice daily, and it really helps me being not-headache all day. Not being bias, but this is a true story. Thanks for sharing the recipe! X
