Juice Recipe: Cucumber and apple with carrot and beet
Serve this juice to someone without telling them what’s in it. They will list all kinds of fruits, because this is a fruity juice. The texture, the color, the flavor… it has to be fruit!
Now tell them apple is the only fruit, and not lots of it.
They will take another sip, shake their head. Bewilderment, incredulity, denial as they finish their glass.
They will ask for seconds, unconvinced a veggie juice can taste like this.
Basically a fruit juice made with vegetables. The refreshing taste of cucumber and carrot is a popular combo, the apple starts to make the flavor abstract, undefined, allowing the beetroot and turmeric take over and impose their own will.
Deep reddish pink color, silky and smooth.
Drink fresh in the afternoon between meals.

Cucumber
The most prolific ingredient in terms of juicing yield, this gherkin is a perfect base for most juices.
Apple
Granny SmithGranny Smith apples are a juicing staple thanks to their high juice yield, somewhat neutral flavor and smooth texture.
This apple is also very easy to store – fresh or sliced – with minimal deterioration of the juice quality.
Carrot
While carrot-only juice exists, the best use for this root is mixed with fruits, vegetables and leafy greens.
Beetroot
The intensity of this root transforms any juice into a beet juice with the rest of ingredients behind. With its rich color, strong flavor and high sugar content, beet root juicing can be challenging.
Turmeric
RootThis rhizome is loaded with healthy benefits and it only needs a small amount to improve the color, flavor and nutrition of any juice recipe.
