As the skin of a beet is packed with antioxidants and nutrients, it is recommended to leave theskinon thebeet.Beetskinand lemonpeel (ifusing)havestrongflavors, so you could also prepare half with skin and half peeled to adjust to the flavor, or simply peel all if preferred. Apples can be any color or variety. Do not peel the ginger, which you will add to taste as ginger can be spicy. After all ingredients are added to the juicer, blend until juiced and smooth.
