Forget the bright red store-bought fruit punches packed with artificial dyes, sweeteners and mystery ingredients. This homemade fruit punch is made entirely with real fruit (and even a veggie!) and can be customized to your taste: use a beet for earthy sweetness, or go with tropical fruit for an island-inspired twist. Bursting with natural flavor, nutrients and vibrant color, it’s a healthy, hydrating drink you can feel great about serving your family, especially on hot summer days or after physical activity.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 small beet (quartered, no need to peel)
  • 1 large lemon (peeled for best flavor)
  • 2 small oranges (peeled for best flavor)
  • 2 Granny Smith apples (or sub red apple), quartered
  • If blending: 2 cups filtered water or unsweetened coconut water

Notes for Flavor Variations:

  • Hawaiian Punch variation: Swap the beet for 1 cup fresh pineapple (no core) and 1/2 cup strawberries.
  • Nature’s Gatorade variation: Use unsweetened coconut water and add 1/8–1/4 teaspoon of unrefined mineral salt to each glass when serving.
  • Fruit Punch flavor variation: Add 1/2 cup fresh cherries, grapes or cranberries.

Instructions

  1. If using a juicer: Juice all the ingredients together. Serve over ice.
  2. If using a blender: Add all the ingredients to the blender along with 2 cups of filtered water or coconut water. Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. Serve chilled over ice.

Notes

  • This juice is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1–2 days. Since it’s unpasteurized, it’s ideal to consume it shortly after making. To help preserve freshness, store it in a container that can be filled to the very top to minimize air exposure.
