Pomegranate and Beet Juice

I first stumbled across pomegranate and beet juice at a weekend open-air artisan farm market just outside town. Among the handmade soaps and fresh loaves of sourdough, a small stand was handing out deep red samples in tiny paper cups. The vendor smiled and told me it was their most asked-for juice. I took a sip out of curiosity and was hit with a bright mix of earthy beet and tangy-sweet pomegranate that felt refreshing and surprisingly satisfying.

After chatting with the vendor and learning how simple it was to make, I bought a basket of fresh produce right there. That same afternoon, I made my first batch of pomegranate and beet juice at home. This juice is more than just refreshing. It’s loaded with nutrients that support heart health, improve skin, and give a natural energy boost.

In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to make pomegranate and beet juice two ways, the key benefits, storage tips, and what to keep in mind before sipping.

Juice vs. Smoothie: Which One to Make?

Both have the same healthy ingredients but serve different purposes. Here’s how to decide what’s best for you:

Juice	Smoothie
Quick nutrient boost without feeling full	More filling and works as a small meal
Light and refreshing	Creamier with a more balanced taste
Ideal after a workout or in the morning	Great for breakfast or a satisfying snack
No fiber, easy on digestion	Full of fiber from whole fruits and vegetables

Juice is fast and light. Smoothies are more satisfying and stay with you longer. Both taste great and are easy to make at home. It’s up to you what you feel like drinking that day.

Why Pomegranate and Beet Juice Is Awesome

Energy and Endurance

Pomegranate and beet juice help your body use oxygen more efficiently. That means more energy and better stamina, whether you’re working out or just running errands.

Antioxidants

Pomegranates have powerful antioxidants that protect your cells. They help your body be strong and may reduce the risk of some diseases.

Lowers Blood Pressure

Beets are packed with nitrates. According to WebMD, these help your blood vessels relax so blood can flow more easily. That’s natural blood pressure lowering.

Reduces Inflammation

The combo of beets and pomegranate reduces swelling in the body. That’s great if you deal with joint pain or other inflammation issues.

Boosts Immune System

Adding lemon or orange to your pomegranate and beet juice gives you a good dose of vitamin C. That helps your body fight off colds and stay healthy.

Good for Your Skin

The antioxidants and hydration in this juice help your skin be clear and soft. It’s a simple way to support a healthy glow.

Supports Natural Detox

Beets are good for your liver. They help your body get rid of waste so you feel cleaner and more balanced overall.

Expert Tips for the Best Juice

To get the most out of your homemade juice, keep these simple tips in mind.

Balance the flavor

Beets have a strong, earthy taste. Adding a sweet apple helps smooth it out and makes the juice easier to enjoy. If you like a little tartness, squeeze in more lemon. In fact, the combination of beet and lemon is so refreshing that we’ve also created a dedicated Beet Lemonade Recipe you might enjoy.

To peel or not to peel

If your beets are organic and well-washed, there’s no need to peel them. The skin holds extra nutrients. For non-organic beets, peeling is a good idea to remove any leftover residue.

Use cold ingredients

Chill your fruits and veggies before juicing. Cold ingredients make the drink more refreshing, especially if you’re skipping ice.

Serve right away

Fresh juice tastes best when you drink it immediately. Waiting too long can cause nutrients to break down from air exposure.

Important Things to Know Before You Drink

Pomegranate and beet juice are good for most people, but here are a few things to be aware of before you make it a habit.

Beeturia

Don’t be surprised if your urine or stool turns red or pink after drinking beet juice. This is harmless and happens to many of us.

Blood Pressure Medication

Beets can lower blood pressure. If you’re already on blood pressure medication, check with your doctor before drinking this juice regularly.

Kidney Stones

Beets contain oxalates, which may raise the chance of kidney stones for some people. If you’ve had stones before or are at risk, it’s smart to enjoy this juice in small amounts.
