Let’s get juicy, people.
Let’s create a summer wellness juice that’s earthy but sweet and just a little bit bright, that combines powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals. Let’s drop some beets on this so-called life. Let’s make something that tastes damn good and looks like liquid rubies (that’s important)!
Let’s do this.
This fresh juice came together when I was feeling a little guilty about my recent diet–lots of unhealthiness present, to be sure–but I wanted something a little different from my regular, super earthy beet-and-carrot deal. So I used those go-to root veggies as a base (venturing from a green juice, seeing as how we do, no matter how unhealthy we’re noshing otherwise, eat approximately eighteen pounds of kale and/or spinach per week), and added spicy, anti-inflammatory ginger and fresh turmeric, along with a peeled lime for some metaphysical spice.
If only cleaning our little let’s-just-try-it-out juicer weren’t such a pain in the tuchus.
This juice is packed full of:
- vitamin A
- vitamin C
- iron
- antioxidants
- and belly-soothing gingery ginger
Let’s do this. Let’s do superfood power punch with a bright summer tartness. Kapow! Take that, unwellness.

You’ve inspired me to drag my juicer, which has not seen the light of day since the Vitamix arrived. But… THIS! Now, this is worth dragging it back out for and putting it to good use! Your photos of the beets… WoW! Thank you for this Cheryl!
drag out my juicer…. (oops)
Right?! My juicer has totally been replaced by the Vitamix. I could write a sonnet about that piece of magic, mmmm. But every now and then, a killer juice is totally worth it.. and this is one of them! 🙂 Thanks Traci!
