Feeling a bit off lately? Maybe a little sluggish or bloated? I have a little secret that might just help: my Beet-Green Detox Juice.

It’s a simple, refreshing drink packed with nature’s best to help you feel like yourself again. I love making this because it’s a quick energy boost that leaves you feeling refreshed from the inside out.

After dealing with some fatigue and digestion issues myself, I started testing out homemade juices for my family. This vibrant red “Detoxifier” really stood out. It’s become a go-to for my husband and me when we need a healthy pick-me-up. The natural sweetness of the beets, paired with crisp cucumber and the bright tang of lemon and apple, really wakes up your senses.

What surprised me most was how much better I felt. The bloating eased up, the afternoon energy crashes disappeared, and I even started sleeping better. In a world full of trendy diets and quick fixes, this juice is a breath of fresh air. It’s simple, nourishing, and exactly what your body needs for a gentle reset.

The Health Benefits of Beet-Green Detoxifier Juice

Adding the Beet-Green Detoxifier Juice to your routine isn’t just about sipping on something tasty; it’s also a great way to give your body a boost of healthy goodness. Let’s break down the powerhouse ingredients and how they can benefit your well-being:

• Beets: Rich in antioxidants, beets are packed with antioxidants like betalains, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. They also contain compounds that support liver function, aiding in the body’s natural detoxification processes.
• Spinach or Kale: Nutrient-dense greens, providing vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. The fibre content in spinach and kale promotes healthy digestion and can help alleviate bloating and constipation.
• Cucumber: Cucumbers are composed mainly of water, making them an excellent hydrating ingredient for the juice. They also contain compounds that help reduce inflammation in the body, potentially aiding in conditions like arthritis.
• Green Apple: Green apples are high in soluble fibre, which helps regulate digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. The natural sugars in green apples are balanced by fibre, making them a suitable option for those watching their blood sugar levels.
• Lemon: Lemons are rich in vitamin C, which is known to support the immune system and ward off infections. Despite their acidic taste, lemons have an alkalizing effect on the body, helping to balance pH levels.
• Ginger: Ginger has long been used to alleviate digestive discomfort, such as nausea, indigestion, and bloating. My mom often drinks ginger tea to help with digestive issues. Ginger contains bioactive compounds with potent anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the body as well.

Simply Salt & Soul Tips

The Soul (The Ritual): We often rush through our “health kicks,” but I invite you to slow down with this one. Notice the incredible, deep ruby colour of the beets as you prep them. In many cultures, red foods are seen as life-giving and vital for the blood. As you take your first sip, think of it as a small, kind act for your body—a way of saying “thank you” for everything it does for you.

The Salt (The Science): To get the most out of this juice, try to drink it on an empty stomach, about 20 minutes before breakfast. This allows your body to absorb the nutrients and enzymes quickly without having to compete with heavy solids. If you’re using a blender instead of a juicer, don’t strain out all the pulp—that’s where the “gold” (the fibre) lives!
