Step by Step Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash carrots beets spinach and pineapple thoroughly. Peel carrots and beet then chop them into small pieces so your blender or juicer can process them easily. If using fresh pineapple remove the tough core.
- Juice or Blend:
- If you have a juicer feed all the prepared fruits and veggies through it slowly. If you are using a blender put everything including the water or coconut water inside. Blend thoroughly on high speed until the mixture is smooth and there are no large bits left.
- Strain for a Smoother Juice:
- If you prefer a clear juice strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Use the back of a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible. If you enjoy a thicker consistency you can skip this step.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Give the juice a taste and adjust as you like. For a tangier result add lemon juice. If you want it sweeter use more pineapple. Stir well.
- Serve and Chill:
- Pour the juice into a chilled glass or carafe. Add a few ice cubes if desired. Garnish with a slice of beet pineapple or a carrot stick for a cheerful touch. Serve right away while everything is fresh and vibrant.

Beetroot is my favorite ingredient here not only for its color but also the earthy flavor it brings. I remember making this for family brunch once and even the kids finished their glasses without a fuss. Now it is a staple whenever I want a healthy treat that feels special.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover juice in an airtight glass jar and refrigerate. Try to consume it within twenty four hours for maximum freshness. Separation is normal just give it a good shake before serving. I do not recommend freezing as fresh juice tastes best.
Ingredient Substitutions
You can swap spinach for kale if that is what you have on hand. Or switch out pineapple for orange or mango for a different twist. If you do not have coconut water plain cold water works in a pinch. Sometimes I even add a small green apple for an extra tart note.
Serving Suggestions
This juice is perfect as a morning wake up or a refreshing afternoon drink. Pair it with a light breakfast or serve as a hydrating snack after a workout or long walk. I often batch prep the veggies the night before for a quicker blend in the morning.
