Beet Carrot Apple Juice is one of my favorite juice combinations out there.
I came across this wonderful fresh “ABC” juice in my travels to India, where it is often served.

TL;DR
I came across the ABC juice in Goa, India. Back in the 2000s, popular juice bars would freshly prepare this juice combination, and it was already a hit back then.
Paul and his family got me hooked on this juice when they prepared the best version I came across in their restaurant. (yep, I met my husband over a glass of ABC juice).
A stands for Apple, B for Beets and C for Carrots. The apple is juicy sweet and give the juice the flavor. The beets are earthy and add color and the carrots are the link of the two other ingredients, making this juice simply irresistible!
Ingredient Notes
- Apple — Any apple variety will do, as long as it's juicy, and you like the taste. A classic in my house is the Gala apple.
- Beet — aka beet roots, usually come in red or golden yellow. They are earthy and people tend to be worried that this root vegetable will take over the flavor profile, which it doesn't. Only a small quantity of raw beets are required for nutritious flavors, color, and flavor.
- Carrots — You will mostly get to use regular orange carrots, which are fine, but if you ever come across a different carrot variety that is super juicy, use that in instead. In the winter months in India, you get some beautiful red-orange elbow long juicy carrots, which are most commonly used in the subcontinent to prepare this juice.
- Honey — to sweeten (optional)
- Ice Cubes (optional) — I make it without ice cubes, but you can add some if you prefer.
How to make this Juice?
You will need a juice extractor kitchen device to make this juice, you can't use a blender to prepare the Apple Beet Carrot juice because the root vegetables need to be squeezed through to be turned into a juice.
Step 1
Wash the apple, beet, and carrot. You don't need to peel them, just chop them up into large chunks.
Take the fruit and vegetable pieces through the juicer.
Step 2
Collect the juice in a jar. Flavor with honey to your liking and add ice cubes, if you like.
Enjoy your homemade ABC juice.

Serving & Storing
The ABC juice is best enjoyed freshly squeezed as a breakfast drink or after work out juice. I personally like it mostly after taking a shower.
You can keep the juice in a container in your fridge cooled but use within 2 days. Mix it up before you drink the juice because juice deposits get collected at the bottom of the pitcher/bottle.
Hi Helen ,
Thanks for this super information. I will try this juice and tell you all about it. Cheers,
Kanangwa
Hi Kanangwa. You are welcome and we are looking forward to your feedback 🙂
should add water to juicer..? Or simply carrot apple nd beet root..?
Hi Sahood. You don't need to add water to the juicer. Just press the apple and carrot through first and the beetroot last because the red beet stains a bit. This is a pure fruit and vegetable juice without water needed. =) Hope that helps.
Hi helene,
Thanx for the advice.... Will do as u said. I absolutely love this juice and am trying to get my hubby and kids to drink it aswell as would want them to benefit from it too! 🙂 thnx for taking ur time to reply. X
Thank you so much for replying helene, its been almost three weeks since ive started the abc juice! And i feel im more energetic since..... Im vegetarian so i cant take fish, but was wondering if i can take flax seed oil in the juice, and would you kindly tell me how many tsp to take in the juice? Oh yeh i drink the juice first thing in the morning, an hour before my coffee. Thnx again for your advice, 🙂
Hi Ranni! Very sorry btw for the late reply... it has been a bit crazy lately.
Oh ok so then fish is out. hm I am not sure if you can add flaxseed oil to a juice. Wouldn't it swim on top and it might not taste so good after all.
You could use flaxseeds ground or as oil in a fruit salad, that's what we do or add it to some yoghurt/curd. Usually I leave them in the yoghurt for some time (if I use them as whole seeds) so that they get soft, since my husband prefers it that way. ^.^ If you have any more questions or requests or whatever let me know, I ll be happy to help out.
Hi helene
Thanx for sharing the juice recipe. Its yummy. The only thing i wanted to know is, ive heard its really good for your skin! In what way? And how long does it take before you see the results? Thnx
Hi Ranni!
I guess its good for the skin since the juice includes fresh apples, carrots and beetroots but mostly the carrot will support a healthy skin since it included Beta Carotin. For the results I can't tell you since it depends on how you have treated your body in the past and of course it depends too on your environment, on what ingredients you choose (organic or hybrid), how often you drink it/how regularly and your genetics. So you see it's really hard to tell. But I would suggest a glass per day for over a period of time (or as long as possible) and soon you should be seeing some results. The most important thing is to have a balanced nutritious diet too, so if you want to have a pretty skin then I suggest to take in omega fatty acids (fish, flax seeds) and don't forget proteins and others.
Gorgeous photography!! I love it especially the colors of the juice it is stunning. Not only is food delicious but it is beautiful.
