Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 -inch section of fresh ginger
- 1 squeeze of 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 them easier to juice. Cut the carrot ends off and chop them into 2-inch pieces.
Using a Juicer
- Feed the carrots through the juicer chute until they are 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.
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 and stir.
Notes
- Soaking the carrots before juicing them makes it easier to blend.
- Juicing yields 1 cup, while blending yields 1.5 cups.
- I recommend a high-performance blender for the best juice with limited food waste.
