Juice Recipe: Cucumber, carrot, beet and blueberry
Can you push a juice too far? This one starts as a vegetable juice, the usuals: cucumber and carrots, maybe some lemon and ginger for better taste.
But that’s the end of playing it safe.
Let’s add some superfood. THE superfood: blueberry. Why not, this juice is already headed to a higher plane.
And then, beet root, with all its unapologetic color, flavor and bombast to make this juice bloody good.
Crazy? Nah, Eccentric maybe when you are this cool.
An intense chemistry of color, flavor and textures makes this juice a refine blend. The vegetables integrate superbly with the exotic blueberry and beetroot mix, letting lemon and ginger soften the load.
Dirty reddish hues, plenty of pulp and lingering earthy tones. Best served chilled along a light meal.

Reviews for: Cucumber, carrot, beet and blueberry
Good for the beets
Excellent way to increase eating beets, which my doctor said I needed to have more in my diet. Good stuff, thanks.
Intense blend of vegetables and fruits
Cucumber
The most prolific ingredient in terms of juicing yield, this gherkin is a perfect base for most juices.
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.
Ginger
RootIn the right amount, this ingredient balances bitterness or sweetness perfectly in any juice recipe.
Steps to optimize juice yield
Cucumber and Carrot
Peel cucumber and cut in stalks. Cut carrots into sticks.
Lemon & ginger
Peel and cut in quarters. Remove seeds if possible. Do not peel ginger.
Blueberry & Beetroot
Wash blueberries. Wash beetroot and remove ends; do not peel. Cut into sticks.
Juice
Start juicing all the beetroot. Add half the cucumber and half the carrots. Add blueberries and ginger. Finish with the rest of the cucumber and carrots.
