Aim for the Beet's Eye Green Juice Recipe

For weeks now I’ve been saying I want to juice using some of the CSA greens like carrot tops, beet greens, radish greens, etc. Instead they’ve been sautéed, mixed into salads, pestofied, or sadly thrown out.

But I have a triumph to share!!

Friday I picked up our CSA and there were these luscious vibrant beet greens that I just had to juice. So I made a plan that I would prep my juice ingredients and then they would conveniently be ready in the morning.

And it was convenient! So much so that I prepped two bags while I was in the moment.

Here’s my juicer set up. I’ve taken to using these wide measuring cups for the juice, because it is so much easier to pour into another container than what comes with the Omega.

The juice was magenta and green. Absolutely gorgeous.

There used to be a time when I put 4-5 apples in a juice. I have learned that I don’t need that many apples, which is great! The juice was not too sweet or too anything. I can’t think of how to describe the flavor except a nice balance of all the ingredients. Beet greens are much less intense than juicing beet root. I didn’t have Jeremy here for a taste-test, but I don’t recall it tasting like dirt at all.
