I am excited to bring today's beets and kale juice recipe! I have been juicing like a crazy person lately. It just makes me feel so good! This kale beet juice has been one cold pressed juice recipe that I have been making on repeat. I am also obsessed with this recipe because it is loaded with superfoods and nutrient dense ingredients.
Why I Love This Kale And Beet Juice Recipe:
Summer is right around the corner and my body is craving raw fruits and vegetables like crazy. I've shared how I am trying to eat and share more raw vegan recipes, because I feel amazing when I eat more raw produce. However it is hard to eat that much raw vegan meals, because it's a lot of chewing! My solution: raw vegan juices like this beets and kale juice recipe!
Raw vegan juices is an incredible way to incorporate nutrient dense ingredients into your diet. If you struggle with eating meals full of vegetables and color, juicing may be for you. I personally do not believe that juicing is a miracle practice, but I do believe that it can dramatically assist your overall health. Whenever I feel a little eh, I always whip out my juicer and get the juicing going!
This kale and beet juice is one cold pressed juice recipe that I can not stop making on repeat! This juice is loaded with Vitamins A and C from the kale, phytonutrients and antioxidants from the beets, magnesium and potassium from the ginger, and more Vitamins C and copper from the pineapple!
The Best Cold Pressed Juicer For Nutrient Dense Juices:
Juicing has just recently become a part of my routine and I couldn't recommend it more. I was never really in to juicing previously, because I had a cheap juicer that was a massive pain! There's not way that I could juice ingredients like beets or carrots, because the juicer would just break. However late last year I got the Kuvings Whole Slow C7000 Series Juicer.
I never realized how easy juicing is until I got this juicer. I can pretty much throw any fruit or vegetable in the juicer and it will squeeze out all the goodness. It is important to use a juicer like this for this beet kale juice recipe, because if your juicer leaves you with wet pulp, you're wasting a lot of produce and nutrients.
It's also important that your pulp is dry so you can use it for other recipes! I love making recipes using my leftover pulp, because it still contains some micronutrients and fiber. It's 2022 I think it's time we stop wasting food.
If you're interested in reducing your waste, then the Kuving juicer is for you. This juicer can make all kinds of things including plant based milk. This was one of the most exciting things to me about this juicer, because I have struggles to make homemade plant based milk for years, and I finally succeeded with this juicer.
It's honestly mind blowing how simple, and more importantly affordable it is to make plant based milks. As always my Kuvings discount code: "NATURALVEGAN" gets you $40 off your Kuvings purchase if you are interested in investing in a cold pressed juicer!
How To Boost The Nutrition Of This Beet And Kale Juice Recipe:
This beets and kale juice recipe is incredibly nutrient dense by itself. However there's actually ways to increase the nutrition of this kale beet juice recipe even more! First, choose organic produce. I'll touch on this more later.
Second, look for purple kale instead of regular. Regular kale is already a superfood, but if you can find purple kale you are finding a superfood with added antioxidants! My rule of thumb when juicing is the more nutrients the better!
Last, but not least, feel free to add any leftover produce in your fridge. Whenever I am juicing recipes like this kale beet juice I always look for what I have leftover in my fridge and throw it in, because the more the merrier when it comes to whole foods plant based ingredients!
However if you are picky about the flavor of the juice (which I can definitely be sometimes too!) you can always stick to the beet juice recipe and make different types of juices using different ingredients you have. Be sure to check out some of my other Juice recipes and juice pulp recipes!

Why It Is Important To Choose Organic For This Beet Kale Juice:
Time to get into a topic that I have recently been very invested in recently. That is: why choosing organic produce is important especially when making juices like this kale and beet juice. I hope at this point we all have a general idea of why eating organic is better: less pesticides, non GMO, etc. However we may not all be actively participating in the organic food life. I am here to convince you that you should start choosing organic produce when making recipes like this kale beet juice.
First, organic = more nutrients. Organic produce is often picked when ripe, and therefore is more nutrient dense. It's important if you are making this beets and kale juice recipe that you choose organic, because the goal is to incorporate more nutrients into your diet, and the way I see it is: go big, or go home!
Second, organic produce is better for your gut health. This is actually what convinced me to start eating more organic produce. When you eat conventional produce that is sprayed with pesticides you are unintentionally killing your good gut bacteria. Let me explain. Pesticides are used to keep bugs and diseases away from produce by killing them. Which is all good and well.
However when you eat conventional produce you are eating the pesticides too. When these pesticides make their way into your gut, they kill off the good bacteria that is working to make your gut healthy. Therefore even when you are eating healthy food with good intention you could be damaging your gut.
Now don't get me wrong. It is still a million times more healthy to eat whole foods plant based foods that aren't organic than to eat processed foods (which are almost never organic). But if you are looking to improve your health even more, this is something to look into!
Can I Prep This Kale Beet Juice Ahead Of Time:
Even with the Kuvings cold pressed juicer, juicing can be time consuming. If I could spend the time juicing fresh everyday, I would. However at the end of the day, I just do not have time to make fresh juices everyday. However with the Kuvings juicer you can make your juices and they will store in the fridge for 72 hours!
I love batch making juice for the week on Sundays then again on Wednesdays so I can have nutrient dense juices like this kale and beet juice throughout the entire week! I find that this is the easiest way to incorporate juices into my diet, because I have the bottles prepped and I am ready to go for the entire week.
Note that most juices, including this kale beet juice will separate in the fridge, but it will go back to normal if you just give it a quick shake!
