Description
Fresh, vibrant carrot juice made in minutes — sweet, bright, and naturally energizing. Two easy methods: juicer or blender + strain.
Ingredients
2.5 lb (1.1 kg) fresh carrots, scrubbed (peel if not organic)
1/2 lemon, juiced (optional, brightens & preserves)
1/2-inch (1.25 cm) fresh ginger, peeled (optional, for a warm kick)
1/2 cup cold water (120 ml, blender method only)
Instructions
1. Rinse and scrub carrots well. Peel if not organic and cut into 1–2 inch pieces.
2. Juicer Method: Feed carrots (and ginger, if using) through juicer. Stir in lemon juice. Serve over ice.
3. Blender Method: Add carrots, water, and ginger to blender. Blend on high 45–60 seconds until very smooth.
4. Strain: Pour through fine-mesh sieve or nut-milk bag. Press gently to extract juice. Stir in lemon juice.
5. Serve & Store: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in a sealed glass jar up to 48 hours. Shake before serving.
Notes
Add apple or orange for sweetness, extra lemon for brightness.
A drop of olive oil helps absorb vitamin A.
Freeze in ice cube trays up to 3 months for smoothies.
Limit to 8–10 oz per day to avoid carotenemia.
