How To Make Carrot Juice

Preparing carrots

Carrots should be cleaned thoroughly before using in any recipe as they may contain dirt and mud from the ground.

Pick tender carrots and rinse them thoroughly under running water. Fill a large pot with clean water and add few drops of vinegar to it. Soak the carrots for 15 minutes.

Drain the water and peel the carrots. At this stage you can cube them if you are making juice in a blender or just pass the whole carrots in a juicer.

Making Carrot Juice In Blender

Add the cubed carrots to a blender jar with 1.5 cups water. Blend until very smooth. Strain the carrot pulp and serve carrot juice immediately.

Using a juicer

Just pass the peeled carrot through the juicer chute and collect the juice. Pour in in serving glass.

serve immediately.

Variations

While plain carrot juice is very healthy and delicious, you can make it even tastier by few add-ins. I usually make this juice by combining carrots and few other ingredients to keep it interesting and also for health benefits. Here are few of our favorites.

Carrot ginger juice– This is my most favorite and most repeated combo. Most of the times I just add a fresh ginger root of about 1.5 inches along with carrots. It adds such a wonderful flavor and you will also reap the benefits of ginger

Carrot juice with oranges– This is again a very popular, delicious and flavorful combo with carrots. You can add sweet oranges or tangerine in this recipe. The quantity is totally up to you. I usually add equal amounts. You can also add grapefruit.

Instead of adding fresh oranges you can mix equal parts of unsweetened orange juice with carrot juice too.

With tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, papaya, passion fruits taste very good in carrot juices. Just make sure your fruit is ripe and sweet. Adding sweet fruits like mango or banana will make this juice more appealing for toddlers and kids.

Carrot celery juice– Sometimes I add a handful of fresh chopped celery and it tastes very flavorful. Here you can also add cucumber, baby spinach, kale or tomato with carrots.

Using lemon or lime juice– Just add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice for a slight tangy flavor.

Carrot juice with wheatgrass– This is another wonderful combination. Adding wheat grass thickens the juice also adds nutrition.

With coconut water– Adding tender coconut water instead of water while blending carrots add a wonderful flavor and taste. To make the juice thick you can also add tender coconut meat. You can also add sugar cane juice instead of coconut water.

Apple carrot juice is a another favorite combo at home that I often make. Apples go very well with carrots, makes the juice sweeter, flavorful and healthier.

With nut milk– You can use any nut milk like almond milk for thick filling drink. You can also make carrot smoothie by adding one small banana or frozen berries in this combination.

ABC juice– add equal parts of carrots and apples along with 1/2 the amount of beetroot to make this popular, healing and healthy abc juice which stands for apple beetroot carrot juice.
