Notes

*I suggest preparing this juice intended for one time and not storing it which otherwise could create stomach discomfort.

*Portion the beets, carrots and apple to fit easily into your juicer not to overstuff, otherwise the juicer blade and motor could get damaged.

*Using ice cubes tends to heat the juice less to maintain the freshness.

*You can include the stem and greens of beetroot to boost the nutritional content.
