Apple, Beetroot & Carrot Juice
🍎🥕🍷 Apple, Beetroot & Carrot Juice (ABC Juice)
📖 Description
Apple, beetroot, and carrot juice—popularly known as ABC Juice—is a refreshing, nutrient-dense drink that combines the natural sweetness of apples, the earthy flavor of beets, and the subtle sweetness of carrots. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, this juice is often called a “miracle drink” for its health-boosting properties, including detoxification, improved digestion, and glowing skin.
🥤 Ingredients For Apple, Beetroot & Carrot Juice
- 1 medium apple (any variety, preferably red or green, washed and cored)
- 1 medium beetroot (peeled and chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped)
- ½ inch piece of fresh ginger (optional, for zing)
- ½ lemon (juiced, optional for freshness)
- ½ to 1 cup water (adjust based on consistency)

👩🍳 Instructions
- Wash and peel the beetroot and carrots. Cut them into chunks.
