Making juice is incredibly easy and fun for me! I love experimenting with new fruit and vegetable combinations, writing up juice recipes, and drinking the juices I make. This time, however, I’m bringing you a classic juice recipe that’s made in juice bars all over: ABC juice. Chances are you’ve heard of it: It’s made with apples, carrots, and beets.
I’m a huge fan of ABC juice, so I went to the store, picked up some beets, carrots, and apples, and whipped up a newer version of the classic ABC juice!
My Juicer-
The juicer I use is the AICOK Slow Masticating Juicer, and I LOVE it! It’s really thorough, so easy to use, and really not difficult to clean. It’s not too big, so it’s easy to store, and I HIGHLY recommend it to any of you wanting to purchase a juicer! Here’s the link if you want to purchase it:
The Recipe:
You can totally customize and change up the proportions of the different types of fruits and vegetables in this recipe!
That being said, here’s what I did:
I used 5 different ingredients to make this ABC juice: apples, carrots, beets, lemon, and ginger. Personally, I used rainbow carrots, because I think they’re fun & enjoy seeing how they look! You can totally use plain orange carrots though, as the taste will remain the same.
The first step, after gathering your ingredients, is to cut them up. It depends on the juicer you have, but you always want to make sure the sizes of the cut up fruits and veggies are something your juicer can easily handle. It’s never a good idea to strain your juicer.
For me, the size of veggies and fruit are what you see in the picture.
When it comes to actually juicing the ingredients, I like to add them in an alternating pattern to ensure the flavors are all evenly mixed in the juice. I always add the lemon and the ginger at the end, then mix with a spoon to incorporate it throughout.
The finished product is just BEAUTIFUL. The beets and carrots mix together to create this wonderful magenta color, and I just LOVE it! Here’s the official recipe if you’re interested in making it!
