Ingredient Notes

For a full ingredients list with measurements, check the recipe card below.

• Granny Smith Apples: I prefer green apples, but any apples you have on hand will work and each one will bring a unique flavor to the juice. 
• Beets: A powerhouse of vegetables, you can use regular red beets or golden ones for the juice.
• Carrots: Vibrant and delicious, any variety you have on hand will work.
• Fresh ginger (optional): Use fresh gingerroot instead of powder for optimal flavor.
• Lemon (optional): Even though this is optional, I love the fresh citrus flavor it adds to the juice.

How to Make ABC Juice

1. Prepare the ingredients. Make sure your vegetables are cored and cut before you need them.

1. Juice them. Feed in the ingredients one at a time to your juicer.

1.  Stir to combine. Give the juice a good stir to mesh the flavors together before you enjoy it.

1. Pour and enjoy. Pour into a glass and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and nutrients.

TIPS FROM NELI’S KITCHEN

Recipe Tips For the Best ABC Juice

• Make sure you quarter and core the apple so that your juicer doesn’t have to work as hard.
• Adding in some lemon juice to the mixture is a bright and sunny flavor addition.
• As you feed the ingredients to the juicer, alternate between them to allow for even mixing.

How To Make It Without a Juicer

If you don’t have a juicer on hand, don’t worry! ABC juice can be made with a high-powered blender.

To use this technique, chop your ingredients into smaller pieces first. Then, add them to a blender and pour in filtered water or coconut water to cover them.

Blend on high for a few minutes before straining the pulp through a cheesecloth. This might take a few attempts as it builds up.

Flavor Variations

Below are a few additions and swaps you can add to make your juice unique.

• Citrus: I love squeezing in a little fresh lemon or lime juice sometimes. It brightens the flavor of the juice and gives it a refreshing lift. Orange or grapefruit work beautifully too.
• Pomegranate: Add a punch of antioxidants by popping in some pomegranate arils and juice directly from the fruit.
• Fizz: If you’re using this juice to sip on in cool weather, adding in some carbonated Perrier once it’s made and ready to serve can make it feel like a treat.

Storing The Juice

I usually store any leftover juice in a jar with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. It can last a bit longer, but I find it’s best enjoyed within that time for the freshest flavor and nutritional benefits. Just give the jar a good shake before drinking.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen fruits and vegetables to make ABC juice?

Yes, frozen produce can work well for juicing. I usually let it thaw slightly before using it. I usually keep my ginger in the freezer so it stays fresh longer and simply cut off the amount I need.

How can I adjust the flavor of ABC juice?

To adjust the flavor simply adjust the ratio of ingredients. Beets are naturally very sweet so add more of them and scale back on the ginger if you have a sweeter palate. Or, add in some citrus to balance it out.
