Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice

Step 1: Prep the Produce
Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice. Remove the rind from your baby watermelon and cut it into roughly two-cup-sized cubes. Thoroughly wash the small beets, mixed berries, and pitted cherries under cold water to eliminate any dirt. Make sure to take out the pits and stems from the cherries, ensuring they are ready for juicing.

Step 2: Juice the Beets
Start juicing by placing the small beets into your juicer first. If you have a less powerful juicer, consider cutting the beets into smaller chunks to help with the extraction process. Juice until you have a smooth, vibrant liquid, which should take about 2-3 minutes. You’ll see a beautiful ruby color forming, signaling that the beets are ready to blend with the other ingredients.

Step 3: Add Watermelon and Cherries
Next, add the prepared watermelon cubes and pitted cherries into the juicer. This combination should create a refreshing and sweet blend, contrasting nicely with the earthy beet flavor. Juice them together for another 2-3 minutes, watching as the mixture transforms into a silky, colorful juice. Stir gently to combine the flavors as they infuse together.

Step 4: Incorporate Mixed Berries
Now it’s time to incorporate the mixed berries. Add the 1.5 cups of your chosen berries to the juicer. This step will enhance the flavor profile of your Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice, adding sweetness and a hint of tartness. Juice for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely combined and you achieve a smooth consistency.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Once everything is juiced, pour your hydrating Watermelon Cherry Berry Beet Juice over ice cubes for an extra-refreshing experience, or chill the ingredients beforehand for a cooler beverage. This recipe yields approximately 750 mL (3 cups), perfect for sharing or savoring throughout the day. Enjoy every colorful sip filled with vibrant flavor!
