Fresh Pressed Winter Fruit and Veggie Juice Recipe

Winter Veggie and Fruit Juice Recipe

by 2

For times when I can't get through my entire CSA box, I turn to my juicer to help me out. It's a great way to get much-needed nutrients when produce is on the verge of being overripe. Given that Winter has little in the way of produce (when compared to the rest of the year), I was shocked at how tasty this recipe turned out to be. Sweet and spicy all at once, this juice also has a beautiful deep red color from the beets.

@Ambadinge You can make this in a blender, but the results will be slightly different. Make sure to peel the skin away from all the produce, get rid of seeds, etc. Then chop or grate produce into small pieces before blending. You'll want to blend with water or ice to thin the final product down since it's going to be pretty thick. (You might even consider straining it once blended.)

I don't have a juicer. Could I make this in a blender? Also, do you cook the beets first?
