Why Carrot Ginger Juice?
Carrot ginger juice combines the natural sweetness of carrots with a spicy ginger kick. This drink has become so popular that even V8 makes a version. However, making carrot juice at home ensures you enjoy the freshest drink possible, free from preservatives or additives.
What Is The Best Way to Juice?
There are two standard methods for juicing: using a juicer or a blender, each with advantages and drawbacks. Juicing with a juicer produces thicker juice but requires more carrots for a single glass. Conversely, blending with a high-performance blender requires fewer carrots but results in a more watery drink due to added water.
I prefer using a high-performance blender. It requires less prep work and less food waste, making it a more convenient option.
Tip: Soak the carrots in cold water before juicing them. This makes the juicing process easier.
Additional Combinations
One of my favorite things about juicing is the different flavor combinations. The sky is the limit on flavor combinations. I have tried some wild combinations that tasted great. Here are a few more ideas if you want to add additional flavors:
| Juice Combination | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Carrot Ginger Turmeric Juice | 2 carrots, 1-inch ginger, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric |
| Carrot Ginger Apple Juice | 2 carrots, 1 apple, 1-inch ginger |
| Carrot Ginger Orange Juice | 2 carrots, 2 oranges, 1-inch ginger |
| Carrot Ginger Apple Beet Juice | 2 carrots, 1 apple, 1 beet, 1-inch ginger |
| Carrot Ginger Celery Juice | 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 apple, 1-inch ginger |
