Sweet Root Pink Juice

Try this bright pink Beet Pineapple Juice that's good for you and tastes amazing. Mix sweet pineapple with earthy beets, fresh cucumber, and a bit of ginger for kick. You can make it in a juicer or blender, and it only needs four things from the store. Your body will thank you for this healthy treat.

Why Make This Juice

You'll love how quick this is to make - just 10 minutes and you're done. It's much better than store-bought juice because you know exactly what's in it, and all the good stuff like vitamins and minerals are fresh. Don't worry if you don't have a juicer, because a blender works just fine. Have it with breakfast or when you need a pick-me-up during the day.

What You Need

• Pineapple: Cut into chunks for easy juicing
• Beet: One medium, cut up
• Cucumber: English kind works best
• Ginger: Just a small piece for flavor

How to Make It

If You Have a Juicer:

Cut up your pineapple, beet, cucumber, and ginger first. Then run everything through your juicer and give it a good stir after.

Using a Blender Instead:

Put all your cut-up fruits and veggies in the blender with some cold water. After it's smooth, strain it through a cloth to get rid of the pulp. Watch out - beets can stain, so use an old cloth.

Make it Cold:

Pour your fresh juice over some ice to make it really refreshing. You'll want to drink it right away while it's fresh.

Save Some for Later:

If you make extra, put it in a container with a tight lid and keep it in the fridge. Try to drink it within a day or two when it tastes best.

What Makes It Great

This juice wakes you up and gives you energy. You can make it in just 10 minutes, and you don't even need fancy equipment. It's full of good vitamins that help keep you healthy, and the bright pink color makes you smile just looking at it.

Pick Good Ingredients

Look for a ripe pineapple that smells sweet when you pick it up. Your beet should feel firm and heavy for its size. Any cucumber works fine, but English ones need no peeling and have fewer seeds. For ginger, grab a piece that looks fresh and feels firm. Fresh ingredients make your juice taste so much better.

No Juicer? No Problem

Just grab your blender and you're good to go. Cut everything a bit smaller so it blends smooth. Then strain it through a cloth to get the juice out. You might get messy with the beet juice, so wear an apron and use old containers. The result is just as good as using a juicer.

Make It Even Better

Don't bother peeling the beet or cucumber - just wash them well. The pineapple needs peeling though. Put your juice over ice for a really cold drink. Want to make extra? Double everything and keep some in the fridge for tomorrow. Just remember fresh juice tastes best within a day or two.

Mix It Up

Once you get the hang of it, try adding different things. Throw in some mint leaves for freshness, or swap the cucumber for apple if you want it sweeter. Keep some beets in your kitchen and you can make juice whenever you want. This recipe is just the start - make it how you like it.
