2 small beets, peeled and quartered
2 red apples, cored with peels on
2 inch piece of ginger, peeled
2 cups water
2 cups ice
¼ cup white grape juice (optional)
Blend beets, apples, ginger and water in a Vita-Mix on high while you fill a pitcher with ice. Pour beet apple mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the the ice filled pitcher, stirring the pulp to allow liquid to drain through. Stir to chill, add grape juice if you desire a sweeter version and serve immediately.
Keep the pulp to make Avocado Beet Toast, Sweet Red Pepper Soup, or Ginger Sweet Potatoes.
