5-Minute Root Vegetable & Celery Juice

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy this recipe because it is incredibly fast and packed with fresh produce. I like how the carrots, beets, apple, and celery balance each other, while the ginger and lemon add a bright, zesty kick. It is simple, customizable, and perfect when I want a homemade juice without any fuss.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 medium carrots
2 small beets
1 1/2 apple
1 thumb fresh ginger
3 stalks celery
1/2 small lemon, peeled

Directions

I start by washing all the produce thoroughly. Depending on the type of juicer I am using, I either leave the fruits and vegetables whole or cut them into smaller pieces so they fit easily.

I add all the prepared produce to the juicer and juice until everything is fully processed. I pour the fresh juice into a glass, add ice cubes if I like, and enjoy it right away.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 1 serving and takes about 5 minutes from start to finish, including washing and prepping the produce.

Variations

I sometimes add a handful of spinach or kale when I want extra greens. When I prefer a sweeter juice, I include more apple. For extra zing, I increase the amount of ginger or add a pinch of turmeric.

Storage/Reheating

I like drinking this juice immediately for the freshest flavor. If needed, I store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and give it a good shake before drinking. I do not reheat juice.

FAQs

Can I make this juice without a juicer?

I use a high-speed blender and strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer if I do not have a juicer.

Do I need to peel the beets and carrots?

I usually leave them unpeeled as long as they are well washed, but I peel them if they are not organic.

Can I skip the ginger?

I sometimes skip it if I want a milder flavor, but I enjoy the warmth it adds.

Is this juice good for beginners?

I think it is great for beginners because the apple helps balance the earthy flavors of the beets and celery.

Can I double the recipe?

I double or triple it often when making juice for more than one person.

Conclusion

I love how this 5-minute root vegetable and celery juice delivers fresh flavor and simplicity in one glass. Whenever I want something quick, refreshing, and homemade, this is a recipe I always enjoy making.
