Making beetroot and carrot juice is an easy and delicious way to add more vegetables to your diet. Combine carrots and beets with other vegetables as well as fruit and create tasty flavour combinations that are packed full of goodness. There is more than one way to enjoy carrot and beetroot juice!

How to make beetroot and carrot juice taste delicious

If you ever tried beetroot juice on its own chances are you weren’t too impressed with the flavour. Beetroot is sweet but also earthy and not nearly as easy on the palate as orange or apple juice, for example. Beetroot, however, works well with many flavour combinations so it’s absolutely possible to make it taste delicious.

Carrots have a lot of natural sweetness, which makes them an ideal juicing vegetable and perfect to juice alongside beets. (Carrot juice on its own also tastes pretty delicious actually).

I have created 3 delicious carrot and beetroot juice combinations, each containing a fruit and another vegetable. The additional vegetables add even more goodness to each juice without overpowering the flavour. Each recipe contains a citrus fruit, which in my view is essential in bringing out the flavour of the vegetables and creating a truly delicious beverage.

How to prepare the vegetables for beet and carrot juice

All 3 recipes are very quick and easy to prepare and there is very little peeling and chopping involved. In fact the only ingredients you’ll have to peel are the beetroot (the juice would taste too earthy if you didn’t) and oranges. The other fruits and vegetables require only rinsing. No need to core the apples and pears or peel the carrots or zucchini. Just chop them roughly and make the juice!

How much juice will I get

Each recipe will yield approximately 500 ml (about 2.1 cups) of juice. The exact amount will depend on how large your vegetables and fruit are and how many you end up using (you can adjust the recommended amounts according to preference).

3. Beetroot, Carrot, Apple and Fennel Juice

This juice is quite sweet, has a hint of fennel and a lively citrusy finish.

2 apples, unpeeled

2. Beetroot, Carrot, Zucchini and Pear Juice

The sweetness of this juice is offset by delicious lime juice - you can adjust the amount of the lime juice to suit your preference.

2 medium carrots, washed, unpeeled
1 medium zucchini, unpeeled
5 large pears, unpeeled
1-2 tbsp lime juice

3. Beetroot, Carrot, Spinach and Orange Juice

This juice is quite citrusy and despite containing a generous amount of spinach it does NOT taste like grass juice😊

2 medium carrots, washed, unpeeled
150 g fresh spinach
2 medium oranges, peeled
