About This Recipe
This beet juice is one of my absolute favorite recipes — rich, naturally sweet, and incredibly easy to make. It combines beets, carrots, pear, and a squeeze of lemon for a balanced, nutrient-packed drink that’s ready in 10 minutes.
You can make this beet carrot juice in a blender or a juicer — no special equipment required. The flavor is smooth and mildly sweet, with that bright lemon finish that makes you reach for another glass. Perfect for breakfast, a mid-afternoon boost, or anytime you want something fresh and wholesome.
Why You’ll Love This Beet Juice

- Beautiful color. That vibrant magenta is stunning in any glass — and great on camera.
Ingredient Notes
- Beets: Choose beets that are firm to the touch and look fresh. If you buy them with the greens still attached, save them you can sauté them or add them to soup.
- Carrots: Wash them very well. If the skin looks dark or you can’t scrub them clean, peel them.
- Pear: Use a ripe pear: Bartlett or D’Anjou work perfectly. You can substitute with apple or skip it entirely for a less-sweet juice.
- Lemon: The juice of one lemon is optional, but highly recommended; it brightens the flavor and balances the sweetness beautifully.
How to Make Beet Juice
- Wash and prep. Wash the beets, carrots, and pear thoroughly. Peel the beets and chop everything into medium-sized pieces.
- Blend or juice. If using a blender, add all ingredients with a splash of water and blend until completely smooth. If using a juicer, simply feed the pieces through — no water needed.
- Strain (blender method). Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or clean kitchen cloth over a bowl. Press with a spoon to extract all the juice.
- Add lemon. Squeeze the lemon juice in at the end and stir.
- Serve. Pour over ice and enjoy immediately!
Tip: Don’t throw away the pulp — you can use it to make savory crackers with seeds. Zero waste!
How to Serve Beet Juice
- In the morning: Freshly made alongside overnight oats, chia pudding, or avocado toast for a nutrient-packed breakfast.
- In the afternoon: Chilled with a handful of seed crackers or some vegan cream cheese for a mid-day pick-me-up.
- In the evening: Served in a large glass with lots of ice and a lemon wedge for an elegant mocktail. For something fancier, rim the glass with salt and lemon, then top with sparkling water.
Variations
- With ginger: Add a small piece of fresh ginger for a spicy, warming kick.
- With orange: Swap the pear for fresh orange juice — a more citrusy version.
- With apple: Use a green apple instead of a pear for a slightly more tart juice.
- With celery: Add a stalk of celery for a less-sweet, more-vegetal flavor.
- Just beet and carrot: Skip the pear — beet carrot juice with lemon is delicious on its own.
Tips for the Best Beet Juice
- Peel the beets. The skin can have a strong earthy flavor — peeling gives a smoother, more pleasant taste.
- Use cold ingredients. If the beets and carrots come straight from the fridge, the juice will be fresher and more refreshing.
- Only add water if using a blender. If using a juicer, no water is needed.
- Drink immediately. Fresh juice loses nutrients quickly. For the best flavor and nutrition, drink it right away.
- Watch out for stains. Beets stain everything — wear an apron and clean surfaces immediately.
- Save the pulp. Don’t toss it — use it for savory crackers with seeds.
Benefits of Beet Juice
Beets are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Combined with carrots, pear, and lemon, this juice delivers a powerful dose of natural nutrients:
- Rich in antioxidants that help protect your cells.
- Good source of iron and folate — especially from the beets.
- Hydrating and refreshing — great after a workout.
- Vitamin A from carrots — supports skin and eye health.
- Vitamin C from lemon — supports your immune system.
But beyond the benefits, I drink it because I love the flavor. It’s one of the tastiest recipes in my kitchen.
How to Store
- Refrigerator: Store in a glass jar with a tight lid for up to 24–48 hours. Best consumed the same day.
- Freezer: Freeze in individual portions in jars or freezer bags. Keeps for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Don’t leave it at room temperature for more than 30 minutes — fresh juice oxidizes quickly.
