Drink Your Juice: Beet & Berry Juice

If you're following along on my juice revelation, welcome to Day 3, featuring another recipe with the Breville Juice Fountain Plus. Let us turn up the BEET a little bit here, because I've got the Beet and Berry juice blend today.

Beets have never been my thing, but when they became trendy again sometime last year, I figured I'd gave them another chance. That's when I tried a juice in NYC from Russ and Daughters--it was a lemony beet juice that was simply revelatory. It was sweet but also earthy, like a better V8 without all the sodium. This recipe is my riff on that same juice, without the whole booking a plane ticket to New York thing.

Beet & BerryBeets can be super pungent, but when you pair them with berries you can get a sweet, earthy juice full of nutrients. Lemon is also a beet's best friend: it brings out the best flavors while toning down the more vegetal qualities.
