This easy to make beetroot juice with orange and ginger contains only three ingredients. It’s loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and it tastes good too. No need for a juicer, you can make this simple juice in a good blender.

There’s been enough chocolate decadence on Tin and Thyme this month, so with a pre-Easter cleanse in mind or even a post-Easter one, I thought you might appreciate a recipe for this nutritious and beetiful purple zinger. What are you waiting for?
Beetroot Juice with Orange and Ginger
This beetroot juice is super simple to make. You don’t even need a juicer. Just load everything into a power blender and blitz. The flavours of beetroot, orange and ginger meld well together with complimentary notes of earth, sweet, sour and spice. I add a little water to help the mixture blend and to make the drink less intense.

The juice is perfectly acceptable just as it is, but if you prefer something a little finer, pass it through a sieve. I did both. I generally prefer my juices to have all the bits in; dietary fibre is not only good for you, but it slows sugar absorption into the blood stream. However, in this instance, I felt the sugars weren’t too excessive and it would be nice to try a more clarified version.
Beetroot
Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is one of the few veg I’ve been able to grow since the deer started getting onto our plot a few years ago. They’re obviously not to the deer’s taste. I don’t know if I’ll manage to sow any seeds this year as we still have so much clearing to do in our new garden, but I’m hopeful.
We’ve grown all sorts in the past: golden, stripy and white, but good old-fashioned purple is my favourite. It’s a nutritional powerhouse loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Oranges
I like to use blood oranges for this beetroot juice with orange and ginger. The blood colour of the oranges just seems like a good fit. Sadly, I can’t always find them and was unable to do so this year. It’s not that big a deal, however, so I often use ordinary oranges instead.
Oranges not only add sweetness and essential sharp notes, but they’re also chock full of Vitamin C. It is this vitamin, in particular, which is most likely to be lost through oxidation; using a vacuum blender makes a big difference to the nutrient quality of blended drinks. See below for more details.
Ginger
Beetroot is a firm favourite with me, but CT is less keen. Luckily, we’re both big fans of hot and fragrant ginger. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) gives this very earthy vegetable a bit of kick and sends it to a more fiery place. It’s good for so many things: headaches, nausea and arthritis to name but a few.
Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Blender
I made the juice in my new Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Power Blender*. This incredible machine not only blends everything into a smooth and silky liquid, but if you use the vacuum function, you get more vitamins and minerals for your buck. Yes really. By taking the air out of the ingredients, less oxidation occurs leaving your juice or smoothie staying fresher for longer.

I’m so impressed at how long my smoothies last without discolouring since I started using the Vac2. I make a big batch now to last for three days. Not only are more of the nutrients retained, but my smoothies have not separated to anything like the extent they used to. Often they don’t separate at all.
If you’re interested, you can read all about it in my Optimum Vac2 review. For other recipes using this fab machine take a look at my Full on Froothie page.

I love beetroot, but it’s earthiness can be overpowering sometimes…… Not sure that I could manage a whole smoothie full….. but the colour is amazing! x
Hello Choclette, this recipe looks very yummy! Cannot wait to make at home!
Glad you like the look of it. It’s a good one.
Thanks, Chocette!
Such a great way to enjoy a nice glass of color and health! Ha!
What a beautiful colour juice. I love orange and ginger together, and I bet the beetroot adds so much flavour too.
I can imagine how gorgeously smooth this must be if you’ve used this amazing blender to make it. Delicious! #CookBlogShare
What a great combination of flavours Choclette. I think I’d enjoy this one.
Wonderful colours and flavours in this and I can imagine that it has a real zing about it.
great flavour combo with orange and beetroot, and interesting about the new blender! Would love to find out more about the research and testing of the extra nutrients!
I keep meaning to make juice in my blender (I’m going to strain them through a nut milk bag – unlike you, I’m not keen on the bits!) and really need to get round to it. I’m impressed you grow your own beetroot and I’m jealous you get to see deer (even if they do eat your veg!)
What a great flavour for a juice. This combination is actuallylly one of my faves as a soup so I now need to try your juice to see how it tastes chilled!
Haha, I’ve never had quite this combination in a soup before Laura, i.e. the orange, so I will have to try that 🙂
I love juices and smoothies with ginger in them so this would be perfect for me. I can imagine that those flavours go perfectly together and definitely need to try beetroot in a smoothie now.
Ginger is such a fabulous spice and lifts pretty much anything.
Love the colour!
The colour is why bog standard purple beetroot is my favourite Angie 🙂
That does sound nice I need to give it a go
Thanks Iris. It’s a good one. I always feel I’ve had a good boost when I’ve had some beetroot.
