Beet Juice Without a Juicer

Lettuce Turnip the Beet!

If your not in the mood for ultra cheesey Beet jokes then just Beet it.

Or just try to casually skim past them on your quest for Juice.

Your Choice.

As I ventured into the world of dying eggs naturally for this Deviled Egg Recipe I remembered (From the Krispy Kale Beet Salad) the oh so colorful and oh so stainful juice Beets contain. Purple fingers anyone?

Then I realized I had never actually made Beet juice before at my house. Nor did I have a juicer. I do however, have a fine mesh strainer. (Cheese cloth also works wonders in this situation.)

So for all my juicerless friends out there……

Let’s keep this short and sweet. Like a Beet.

To prepare your Beets Wash them and peel them with a potato peeler or paring knife.

Cut them into quarters and throw them in a blender or processor. Beet them up a bit.

(Love my little Ninja)

So beetiful!

Pour into a fine strainer or cheese cloth and press the juice out.

Depending on beet size and juice level, 4 Beets = About 1 cup in the Juicer world. I found that hand pressing I got about 2/3 Cup.

Let that Beet Drop! and Enjoy 🙂
