This vibrant and invigorating red juice is a perfect pick-me-up made with fresh beets, red cabbage, pomegranate and ginger! Try this delicious and healthy drink with a sweet/tart kick.
It seems inevitable that come January we’re all struck with that overwhelming urge to get back on track and eat a little cleaner. If consuming more fresh produce is on your to-do list this year then you may want to add juicing to your daily routine.
Quick and easy, a homemade fruit and vegetable juice makes a wonderfully invigorating and tasty drink in the morning or afternoon when you’re looking for a pick me up that doesn't rely on caffeine. My favorite juice to sip on at the moment is a sweet-tart combination of pomegranate, beets, red cabbage and ginger. I call it my red juice because of its vibrant color.
This red juice is a lot of goodness in a small glass. It has a nice kick from the ginger but not so much as to overwhelm your taste buds, while the red cabbage and beets offer a mellow sweetness and the pomegranate juice balances everything with a nice tart finish. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredient Notes:
(Here are a few notes about the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe. As always find the full list of ingredients and directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.)
- Pomegranate – You’ll need the seeds from a whole pomegranate. The sweet/tart flavor plays beautifully with the other vegetables in the juice and adds sweetness.
- Beets – You’ll need red beets for this juice.
- Cabbage – You’ll need a red/purple cabbage. With more nutrients than its paler green counter-part thanks to its purple pigmentation it's a natural addition to this red juice.
- Ginger – Fresh ginger gives the juice an invigorating jolt to get you going, and has digestive benefits.
How to Make Red Juice:
- You’ll start by chopping everything into chunks to fit into the juicer chute.
- Next pass all the ingredients through the juicer, alternating hard and soft ingredients.
- Pour the juice into ice-filled glass and serve immediately.
Fresh juice like this is best enjoyed immediately but you if you have a masticating juicer you can store the juice in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
So dig out your juicer and give it a try, it might become your new favorite pick-me up!

I LOVE beets in my juices! I just started using them last winter and the flavor and color they add is really nice. They seem to add so much richness and body to the juice. This is just stunning...as always...your photos are making me swoon.

That color to begin with is gorgeous but the addition of ginger makes it even more attractive.
