Ingredients

• 150g beetroot
• 150g plums
• 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp hemp seeds
• 150ml water

Method

You’ll need: high-speed blender · chopping board · knife · sieve

1. Peel the beetroot and cut it into small cubes. That way it blends more finely.
2. Wash the plums, halve them and remove the stones. Then squeeze the lemon.
3. Put the beetroot, plums, lemon juice, hemp seeds and water into a high-speed blender.
4. Blend everything thoroughly until the juice is very fine and even. If you'd like it easier to drink, briefly pass it through a sieve.
5. Add a little more lemon juice to taste if needed. That makes the flavour fresher and more rounded.
6. Serve the vegan beetroot and plum juice well chilled. The colour and flavour are at their best straight after blending.

Good to know

This juice tastes deep, fruity and clear all at once. The sweetness is natural, and the acidity keeps everything in balance. A mellow, lovely glass for in between.

Swaps

Plums → cherries (similarly fruity, with polyphenols); lemon → lime (also provides vitamin C, slightly tarter in flavour); hemp seeds → cashew butter (makes the juice creamier and adds unsaturated fatty acids); beetroot → cooked beetroot (milder in flavour)

Allergens

The recipe is vegan and naturally free from gluten and milk. Some people don't tolerate hemp seeds well. Usually fine for children in small amounts, and during pregnancy the ingredients are unremarkable in normal kitchen amounts.
