“Mommy, it’s BLOOD!!” came a shriek from my overly dramatic 6 year old when she saw me taking a photo of this garnet concoction. I told her it’s my juice for the day and that it contains Sugar Beets and Watermelon.
I heard a whispered eww from the back of her hand that was covering her mouth.
Like her, I am not so fond of things I am not familiar with specially those that I have seen for the first time. But my sense of food adventure always gives me a push whenever I’m thinking of backing out. To tell you honestly, this was the first time in a long time that I was able to taste Sugar Beets again. I had it when I was a teenager and I didn’t like it so much. I swore I’m never gonna eat beets again even if my life depended on it.
Well, technically this time, I wasn’t gonna eat it — I’m gonna drink it.
I was actually tempted to just take a photo and pour it out in the sink.
Ykaie stayed with me while I take the photo of this Sugar Beets and Watermelon Juice. I think she was curious about the drink too and she’s waiting because she’ll judge the juice based on what my reaction will be when I drink it.
The thoughts running on my mind were: “Okay, so I have to drink this whether I like it or not.” “Oh, it’s not gonna be so bad, it has watermelon. YOU like watermelon.” “Psh. Just give it a sip, you chicken”
I uncorked the bottle and took one sip.. sort of like testing the waters….
What do you know? It is sweet… and mostly tasted like watermelon juice only with subtle earthy notes. Not bad, not bad at all. I didn’t like the color but I love the flavor. I think t would also be great if I added some mint leaves!
Oh my taste has matured a lot..LOL! It’s like I am meeting Sugar Beets for the first time. (Hi Sugar Beets, I’m Peachy.. it’s so nice to meet you…)
I think it’s safe to say that I like Beets now and that I must try and eat it in its normal form….
I chugged this whole bottle plus some leftovers from the pitcher. I told Ykaie how surprisingly good it was and she looked at me with suspecting eyes..hahaha. I think it’s time I teach her how to appreciate sugar beets…
Sugar Beets has amazing health benefits. It is not only good for detoxification, it also contains powerful antioxidant, folic acid, potassium, magnesium and iron as well as vitamins A, B6 and C. Thanks to my Breville Juice Fountain Max for reuniting me with beets..LOL!

Thanks Rosa!
These are really impressive ideas in on the topic of blogging.
You have touched some fastidious points here. Any way keep up wrinting.
Thanks!
Ahh! Success! Might I also add that Watermelon does overpower some other tastes and thus I love to combine it with many other stronger tasting ones to make it sweeter. Plus, it has lots of water too.
I agree! I’m starting to love watermelon in juices!

your sweat!

Hi Peach! I just had Sugar Beets and Watermelon juice for lunch, based on your recipe. It was a success!!! Thanks!
You are welcome! I really like the combination kasi you won’t really taste the beets eh.
yeah i agree with Ykaie, it looks like blood hihi. Anyway, how much is the sugar beets?
It’s really affordable. P40 for two large pieces of beets.
Hi Ms. Peachy, where to buy po yung beets?
Hi Zyreen, you can buy it at the supermarket (Landmark and SM) and I’ve seen some in Centris Sunday Market.
Wow looks interesting delicious. If you are to sell this Sugar Beets and Watermelon Juice, How much per bottle?
this costs around P50. So I would sell this for P100?
Watermelon is such a thirst quencher and i think this would be a great juice.
It is a really a nice juice. It’s fresh and with lots of Vitamins and minerals.
whoah! I don’t know what sugar beets are. Maybe those are the props for bloody movies. hehehe. 😉

Sugar Beets are this red rootcrop that has an earthy flavor.

This drink is good for digestion and also overall healthy. I want to drink and eat these fruits. 🙂 Good thing I have a blender now gifted by my dentist.
WOW! Your dentist is galante! LOL! You have to make smoothies!
Hello there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?

content. Please let me know. Cheers
Sure, not a problem!
For detox and healthy diet, good combination indeed.

I love watermelon. It’s one of my family’s favorite most especially the seedless ones. But I don’t like sugar beets. I think my taste hasn’t matured yet. lol
LOL! That what I felt a few months ago.
I’m thinking of having this at home but I can’t find beets in the nearest grocery store in my place.
I know SM supermarket sells beets.
I love watermelon so much. Also, where did you get the beets? Hihi!
I bought the beets at SM Supermarket but you can also buy from landmark supermarket, rustan’s supermarket or robinsons supermarket.
