20 Beet Juice Recipes

Beet juice brings an earthy sweetness and rich color to more than a glass of juice. Blend it with berries, brighten it with citrus, or use a small amount to add color to breakfast and savory dishes. These 20 recipes give you simple ways to bring it into everyday cooking.

Use plain, ready-to-drink 100% beet juice, such as Pomona Beet Juice, rather than concentrate or a sweetened juice blend. Shake the bottle before measuring. All cup measurements are US cups; 1 cup is approximately 237 mL. Prep times are estimates, and chilling or freezing time is listed separately.

Beet juice pairs especially well with strawberries, pineapple, orange, lemon, ginger, cocoa, and creamy yogurt. Sweeten to taste because the sweetness of fruit and juice varies. Wipe spills promptly, as beet juice can stain.
