Frequently Asked Questions
Just so you'll know what to expect, as good as this juice is for you...it isn't a sweet tasting juice.
Beet juice by itself will have some sweetness to it, but this Beet and Celery Juice has a combination of a salty taste (from the celery) and a little tartness (from the lemon).
I like to alternate this juice between green juices and the sweeter juices that use carrots or apples.
It's a great "pick-me-up" drink in the afternoon and it's raw, vegan, gluten-free, lectin-free, alkaline, paleo-friendly, and Medical Medium® Compliant.
Yes! This fresh juice is very nutrient dense, and it supports hydration, circulation, digestion, and provides antioxidants.
Beets: are rich in nitrates, antioxidants, and provide a natural sweetness.
Celery: is hydrating, mineral-rich, and supports digestion
Lemon Juice: brightens the flavor and adds Vitamin C
Making your own fresh juice is always better than store bought because it hasn't been pasteurized and retains the enzymes and nutrients.
Yes, you can. You may not have the same texture as with a juicer, but it can still be done.
Here's how to make it in a blender:
1. Add the beets and celery (cut into small pieces) to a blender with (1) cup of water.
2. Blend until everything is broken down. Try not to blend any longer than necessary to avoid any heat.
3. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or a nut milk bag.
It is not necessary to peel the beets.
When I make this juice, I clean the outside of the beets very well and juice them with the skin on since the skins contain nutrients.
However, you can peel the beets before juicing if you prefer.
This is a personal preference.
Personally, I prefer to cut the beet greens off before juicing them.
You can juice the beet greens, but they will add a slightly earthy, bitter flavor.
If you are new to juicing or will be making this for children, you may want to start out without juicing the beet greens to keep the juice as pleasant as possible.
No, this juice would not be a replacement for the Medium Medium® recommendation of drinking 16 ounces of 100% celery juice each morning but is certainly a healthy drink to consume later in the day.
If you are looking for the official Medical Medium® celery juice recipe, check out my Medical Medium® Celery Juice Recipe + Protocol post where I answer lots of frequently asked questions about the celery juice protocol.
Yes, you can although it's best to consume it immediately to get the maximum nutrients and enzymes.
Fresh juice begins to oxidize as soon as it's made so if you need to store it overnight, make sure to store it in an air-tight container and fill the container to the top to minimize air exposure.
Expert Tips
Tip #1: I use an Omega J8005 juicer and can juice the beet without peeling it first and I cut it into ¼ pieces before adding it into the chute. You may have to peel the beet before juicing it. depending on the type of juicer you use.
Tip #2: With this juice, I can juice the entire ½ lemon without having to peel it first before adding it into the chute. You may have to peel the lemon before juicing it depending on the type of juicer you use.

Thanks for the recipe. I've been trying to get on the beet juice bandwagon to improve my health. This recipe seems like it has some ingredients that can help make beet juice taste better. I bet the lemon and celery would help to add some extra zing. These seem like very healthy ingredients, so I'm sure this recipe will help to improve my health quite substantially.
Karielyn says
Hi there Deanna! I really like adding the lemon and celery because they are both detoxifying and a natural diuretic. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
Becky says
Hey Karielyn! 😉 Do You use Your vitamix for this? Just curious if all the fiber is in there. Much love and prayers coming Your way! XOXOX
Karielyn says
Hi there Becky! For my juices, I use my juicer (Omega J8005) which is a low-speed, masticating juicer and I really like it because it's good for leafy greens and fresh wheatgrass...which is the primary reason I chose this particular juicer.
I don't really worry about fiber when juicing, unless I was juicing long term (like on a 30 day juice cleanse) because since I don't exclusively juice as my primary source of nutrition, I do get fiber naturally from the other fresh fruits and vegetables I eat throughout the day.
Thanks for your question!! 😉
Jess says
I don't have a juicer and don't drink juice often (I love me a smoothie, though!), but I'd be curious to try this combo of flavors 🙂
Karielyn says
Hi Jess! Oh girl, you ~have~ to get you a juicer! 😉 This combo is a little tangy, but you could always add an apple or carrot to give it some sweetness 😉
Tina says
