Prep the produce: Wash everything well. Trim the beet greens and save them for salads or smoothies if you like.
Peel the ginger and, if desired, peel the beets for a cleaner flavor.
Chop into chunks: Cut beets, carrots, and apple into pieces small enough for your juicer chute or blender.
If using a juicer: Juice the beets, carrots, apple, and ginger. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt, if using.
If using a blender: Add beets, carrots, apple, ginger, and 1/2 cup water. Blend on high until smooth.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing to extract the juice. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Add more water if you want a lighter texture.
Chill and serve: Pour over ice if you want it extra refreshing.
Taste and adjust lemon or water to balance sweetness and earthiness.
Timing tip: Drink 60–90 minutes before a workout or demanding activity for the best stamina support.
