Ginger Beet Juice, eh? Vegetables have been packed into this juice by adding kale and a carrot, and then sweetened with orange and apple.  Sounds quite interesting but tastes even better!

Without A Juicer

•  Coarsely chop all ingredients. First, place the soft and/or juice ingredients in the blender and process until liquefied.
• Add the remaining ingredients; blend until liquefied
• Cut two 24-inch-long pieces of cheesecloth
• Completely unfold each piece and then stack the pieces on top of each other
• Fold the double stack in half so you have a 4-layer stack of cloth
• Line a large bowl with the cheesecloth and pour the contents of the blender into the center
• Gather the edges of the cloth together in one hand and use the other hand to twist and squeeze the bundle to extract all the juice from the pulp.
