Tips
- Skip peeling: Save yourself time and don't bother peeling the beet, cucumber, or ginger. The juicer will automatically separate the peel with the rest of the pulp. Do peel the pineapple though, because the skin is extremely tough and not tasty.
- Add ice: If you're enjoying this juice right away, consider serving it over ice. This will make the drink cold and refreshing. Alternatively, refrigerate the juice in a sealed container until cold.
- Make a double batch: If you're going through the effort of taking out your juicer, then you might as well make extra juice for later! Homemade juice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It's best enjoyed within 24-48 hours.
- How to make this juice in a blender: If you don't have a juicer, you can still make this recipe. Instead, use a high speed blender to process everything. Then, strain using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth.
