Ingredients
2 small beets, peeled
4 carrots
½ lemon, peeled
1 orange, peeled
1 sweet potato, peeled
Directions
Rinse all beets, carrots, sweet potato, orange, and lemon under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Peel the beets, sweet potato, lemon, and orange completely, removing all skin and white pith from the citrus.
Cut the beets, carrots, and sweet potato into chunks small enough to fit comfortably through your juicer's feed chute. Keep the citrus fruits in quarters or halves depending on your juicer's opening size.
Feed the beets through the juicer first, followed by the carrots, lemon, orange, and finally the sweet potato. This order helps ensure the sweeter ingredients at the end push through any remaining pulp and thoroughly blend all flavors together.
Pour the freshly extracted juice into a glass, gently shake or stir to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Serve immediately over ice and enjoy.
Comments
All five ingredients are standard produce at any Charlotte-area grocery chain—beets, carrots, sweet potato, lemon, and orange need no special trip. At roughly $0.50–0.75 per serving for fresh juice, this is inexpensive. The stated ten minutes is honest for washing, chopping, and running a juicer, though you'll need a proper juicer or high-powered blender; a standard blender would require straining and double the time. This is a refreshing, quick drink that fits a busy morning, though juice does not reheat and oxidizes quickly, so both servings should be consumed the same day.
