⭐ Tips

• Start with a small amount of ginger because its flavor can become quite strong.
• Fresh ingredients give the best flavor.
• Drink the juice soon after preparing it.
• Beetroot can naturally turn urine or stool pink/red; this can be harmless after eating beets.
• If you’re watching your sugar intake, skip the apple and use cucumber or lemon instead.
