I’ve always been a fan of incorporating vegetables into my drinks, and beets are a superstar in my book.

When paired with the hydrating qualities of watermelon, the sweetness of cherries, and the antioxidant power of mixed berries, you get a juice that’s both delicious and incredibly healthy. The vibrant ruby-red hue is just a bonus! Making this juice is incredibly simple, and you can customize it to your liking.

Instructions:
1. Preparation is Key: Before we start juicing, it’s essential to prepare all our ingredients thoroughly. For the beets, give them a good wash to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer a smoother juice without the slightly tougher beet skin, but if you have a high-powered juicer, leaving the skin on can preserve more nutrients. For the watermelon, cut off the rind and any seeds. If you’re using a baby watermelon, a quarter should yield about 2 cups of fruit. For larger watermelons, measure out roughly 2 cups of the juicy flesh. Wash your mixed berries and pitted cherries. Ensure the pits have been removed from the cherries, as they are not suitable for juicing. Having everything prepped and ready makes the juicing process smooth and efficient.
2. Juicing the Beets: This is where the magic begin extracts! Start by feeding the prepared beets into your juicer. If your juicer has different settings, use the one recommended for harder vegetables. Take your time and push them through steadily. Beets can be quite dense, so a sturdy juicer is your best friend here. You’ll notice the deep, rich color starting to emerge. If you’re not a fan of the earthy beet flavor, you can juice them first and then add a bit more fruit to the final blend later to mellow it out. It’s always a good idea to juice the densest ingredients first, as they can help push through any residual juice from softer fruits.
3. Juicing the Watermelon and Cherries: Next, it’s time to add the juicy watermelon. Cut it into manageable chunks that fit your juicer’s chute. Watermelon is very high in water content, so it will yield a good amount of juice and help rinse out any remaining beet pulp from the juicer. Follow this by adding your pitted cherries. Their sweet juiciness will complement the beet flavor and add a lovely sweetness to the overall juice. Again, ensure they are pitted before adding them to the juicer. If your juicer has a separate chute for softer fruits, you might use that for the watermelon and cherries.
4. Adding the Mixed Berries: Now for the final touch of fruitiness and vibrant color: the mixed berries. Gently feed your strawberries, red currants, and raspberries into the juicer. Berries can sometimes be a bit delicate and might not juice as efficiently as harder fruits or vegetables. If you find your juicer struggling, you can pulse them a few times before pushing them through. The combination of these berries will introduce a delightful tartness that beautifully cuts through the sweetness of the watermelon and cherries and the earthiness of the beets. The antioxidants from the berries will also contribute to the overall health benefits of this incredible juice.
5. Strain and Serve: Once all your ingredients have been juiced, give the juice a good stir in a pitcher or directly in the juicer’s receptacle. Depending on your juicer, you might have some pulp. If you prefer a super-smooth juice, you can strain it one more time through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This step is optional but can elevate the texture. Pour your vibrant Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice into glasses. For an extra refreshing experience, serve it chilled over ice. You can also garnish with a slice of watermelon or a few fresh berries. Enjoy this powerhouse of flavor and nutrition immediately to get the most out of its fresh, vibrant goodness!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make this juice in advance?
Yes, you can definitely make this Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice in advance! It’s best consumed within 24-48 hours for optimal freshness and nutrient content. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You might notice some separation; simply give it a good shake before serving.
What if I don’t have all the berries listed?
That’s perfectly fine! This recipe is very adaptable. Feel free to use whatever berries you have on hand. Mixed berries, blueberries, raspberries, or even just strawberries will work wonderfully. The key is to aim for a good balance of sweetness and tartness, which the berries provide.
Is the beet flavor too strong?
For many, the beet flavor is pleasantly mellowed by the sweetness of the watermelon and the tartness of the berries and cherries. If you’re new to beet juice or concerned about the earthiness, start with a smaller piece of beet (perhaps a quarter or a third of a small beet) and gradually increase it in future batches as you get accustomed to the taste.
