Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 inch section fresh ginger
- 1 squeeze lemon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or blue agave (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Soak the carrots in cold water for 10 minutes (optional). This softens them and makes juicing easier.
- Cut the ends off the carrots and chop them into 2-inch pieces.
Using a Juicer
- Feed the carrots through the juicer chute until processed.
- Add the ginger (peeled or unpeeled) to the juicer.
- Pour the juice into a glass.
- Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon and/or honey to the juice.
- Enjoy!
Using a High-Performance Blender
- Place the carrots, ginger, and 1/2 cup of water in the blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth, pressing to extract as much juice as possible.
- Pour the juice into a glass.
- Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon and/or honey to the juice.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Soaking the carrots before juicing them makes it easier to blend.
- Juice from a juicer will yield approximately 1 cup while using a blender will yield around 1.5 cups.
- I recommend using a high-performance blender to achieve the best juice with limited food waste.
