Ingredients For Beet, Ginger, Turmeric & Watermelon Juice
2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and deseeded
1 medium beetroot, peeled and chopped
1-inch fresh ginger root, peeled
1-inch fresh turmeric root (or ½ tsp ground turmeric)
½ lemon, juiced (optional, for extra freshness)
1 cup cold water (adjust for consistency)
Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all ingredients.
Add watermelon, beet, ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, and water into a blender or juicer.
Blend until smooth. If using a juicer, process everything directly.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother juice.
Pour into a glass over ice cubes and serve immediately.
Notes
Fresh turmeric is best, but powdered works if unavailable.
For a sweeter taste, add a small apple or a teaspoon of honey.
Juice is best consumed immediately to preserve nutrients, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
Tips
Chill the watermelon before juicing for an extra refreshing drink.
Add a pinch of black pepper to boost turmeric absorption.
For extra detox benefits, add a few fresh mint leaves before blending.
