A Non Borscht Beet Drink!

Not sure if this one pushes the envelope... but it's a cool drink recipe using beets that is not borscht.

I would categorize this as a vitamin and mineral packed drink. Tang from the pineapple with the bite of ginger are combined to balance the beets and tomatoes.

This is an exact recipe that I would not attempt to scale. To avoid the beets overpowering the drink, I would suggest making in batches. Please note that this is a recipe intended for a juicer.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium beet (5 ounces)**
• 3 ripe plum tomatoes
• 1.5 cups diced pineapple
• 1 piece of ginger (about 1.5 ozs)
• teaspoon salt

Process:

1. Peel the beets and ginger
   
   
2. Peel and core the pineapple
   
   
3. Rough chop the beets, ginger, tomato and pineapple
   
   
4. In an electric juicer in the following order - juice the beet, tomatoes, pineapple, and ginger,
   
   
5. Mix in the salt and serve immediately.

** Feel free to experiment with other non-red varieties of beets
