The first time I had beets, which wasn't that long ago, I thought they were the grossest thing on the planet. Seriously, I wondered why anyone would even consider eating them. Granted, the beets I tried were pickled and I ate them by themselves. So for a while, I left the beets alone.

Then one day, I was reading...as I tend to do often because I'm a smarty pants, and discovered that beets have a ton of health benefits. Like a freaking ton. And since I'm on this whole healthy kick in my life (except for the fact that I've been test baking macarons every night), I decided I was going to have to find a way to get beets in my belly, other than pickled of course. Hence the creation of this Beets Apple Carrot Juice recipe.

I played around with a lot of different ingredients when it came to creating beet juice. The first time I had way too many things added and decided to keep it simple with what was in my kitchen at the time, which happened to be beets, carrots, and Honeycrisp apples. Once I mixed these together, I was surprised by how delicious it was and it became my go-to breakfast drink.

Side Effects of Beet Juice

Now of course, there were a few...umm, complications when it came to drinking this beet juice. First, this beet apple carrot juice causes a little stomach discomfort initially. Oh heck, I'll call it what it is...It causes gas. My hubby seriously threatened to leave and I provided so much laughter to my daughter when I started drinking this juice. Now I can't be sure if this was caused totally by the beet juice or the fact that I started eating fruits and vegetables like crazy. If your body isn't used to tons of healthy food, it may react like that initially. I no longer have this problem if anyone was wondering.

Also, be prepared for your...umm...bodily waste to turn red. Don't freak out., it's normal and won't last that long. Again, your body has to get used to all the beet love. Other than those weird occurrences, beets are great!!!

Can I make Beet Carrot Apple Juice in a Juicer or Blender...That is the Question??

Both work wonderfully...however, if you decide to blend...I'd use a high quality blender and strain the juice afterwards.

Notes on Beet Carrot Apple Juice

• Please use Honey Crisp or a similar juicy sweet apple. This is what gives the juice a sweet delicious taste.
• This juice can be made with a juicer or a blender. If you're making with a blender, add a tiny bit of fruit juice or water and blend. Pour through a strainer and enjoy.
• If your juicer is old school like mine and you have a thick consistency on top, either run through a strainer or stir juice before drinking.
• Beets stain...so be careful when peeling because your hands will turn red, would hate to get that on your clothes.
