Core Ingredients
2–3 medium beetroots, peeled and chopped.
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or about ½ to 1 small fresh pineapple, chopped.
1 medium cucumber, roughly chopped.
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced.

Juice of 1 fresh lemon or lime.
1–2 cups cold water or coconut water.
Honey, to taste (optional).
Extra pineapple chunks, if additional sweetness is desired.
Ice cubes, for serving.
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish.
Instructions
Wash all the fresh produce thoroughly before preparing the ingredients.
Peel the beetroots and cut them into small chunks for easier blending.
Peel and chop the pineapple into bite-sized pieces if using a whole fresh pineapple.
Wash the cucumber well and chop it into large pieces. Peeling is optional.
Peel the fresh ginger and slice it into thin pieces.
Add the chopped beetroot, pineapple, cucumber, and ginger to a high-speed blender.
Pour in the cold water or coconut water.
Add the fresh lemon or lime juice.
Blend on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes completely smooth.
Taste the juice. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a little honey or extra pineapple and blend again for a few seconds.
For a smoother juice, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher.
If you enjoy extra fiber, skip the straining step and serve it as a thicker juice.
Pour into chilled glasses filled with ice cubes.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Q&A
