Homemade Carrot Juice Recipe

Easy and refreshing homemade carrot juice recipe made with fresh carrots, ginger, lemon, and apple is loaded with nutrients and excellent for the body! Sometimes I also add orange to this carrot juice recipe. First of all, let’s talk about this incredible vegetable, shall we? Carrot is a root vegetable and a good source of Vitamin C and beta carotene, two powerful antioxidants. Second, carrots come in different colors, such as orange (the most popular color), white, purple, yellow, and red. Finally, carrots contain numerous minerals and vitamins and are great for health! If you are looking to improve your health, eating or juicing carrots would be a welcome development! And the best part about this is that carrots are cheap and readily available.

You can make this homemade carrot juice recipe using the juicer or the blender; whatever you have would work! However, you will require more ingredients (when using the juicer) to get the same amount of juice.

Benefits of Juicing:

Like their sister, smoothie, juicing has several health benefits; I went into detail about individual juices. For instance, in my Celery juice post, I shared so much information and the benefits of drinking celery juice. The same goes with pineapple cucumber juice, homemade grapefruit juice, beet juice, pomegranate juice, watermelon lemonade, etc.! Though smoothies have more fiber and are typically more filling, healthy homemade juices like this carrot juice recipe are equally health-improving!

Health Benefits of Carrot Juice:

  • Improves Skin: carrot juice or carrot diet may protect the skin again the UV (ultraviolet) damage. The beta carotene in carrots is said to improve skin health. 
  • Vitamin C: notably, a cup of carrot juice provides a good amount of vitamin C, which equally keeps the skin nourished and looking younger
  • Boosts the Immune System: carrot juice may boost immunity and protect the body from free radical damage because of its high vitamin C and A content! Personally, I make more of this juice during the cold and flu season!
  • Relatively, carrot juice is heart-healthy; I am all in for anything that can help decrease any instances of cardiovascular diseases. If you care about heart health, then make this recipe, and share it with everyone who needs it.
  • Eye Health: thankfully, carrot juice has a good amount of Vitamin A that is incredibly excellent for our eyes. Additionally, carrots contain lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which protect the eye from damage.

To recap, when you juice carrots following my carrot juice recipe, you gain not only the benefits of carrots but also those of lemon, ginger, apple, and orange!

Tools you will Need:

  • Blender: Carrots are hard, so I highly recommend a high-speed blender. I use this Oster blender; I love it!
  • Mesh strainer or Nut Milk Bag: if making this juice in the blender, you will need a mesh sieve or a nut milk bag!
  • Juicer: The best juicer for making carrot juice is a slow Masticating juicer because it makes pressed juices! I love and use my big masticating juicer – Breville, and the small one – Aicok. Buying any of these juicers is an investment that you will be proud you made!

HOW TO MAKE CARROT JUICE AT HOME:

How to make Carrot Juice in a Juicer:

Making carrot juice in a juicer is easy! As a rule, I always wash and scrape off the skins of my carrots before juicing them! Depending on the size of the juicer, you may choose to cut the carrots or leave them whole! Whenever I use my big juicer, I usually leave them whole; on the other hand, I cut the carrots when I juice them in my small juicer.

After juicing, allow it to chill and enjoy! It is important to realize that the juice from the juicer will be more concentrated than the one you made in a blender. And at the same time, it will have more calories!
