Ingredients
- 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 small apple (optional for sweetness), cored and chopped
- 1 small piece of ginger (about 1 inch), peeled
- 1 orange, peeled
- 1 cup of water (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional for tang)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and peel the carrots, ginger, and orange. Chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending or juicing.
- Blend or Juice:
- If using a blender, combine all the ingredients, including water, and blend until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- If using a juicer, process the carrots, apple, ginger, and orange directly in the juicer.
- Adjust the Flavor:
- Stir in the lemon juice for a hint of tang, if desired. Add more water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve:
- Pour the juice into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and maximum nutrient retention.
- Store:
- If you have leftovers, store the juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Tips:
- Adding the apple balances the earthiness of carrots and the spiciness of ginger.
- Drink this juice regularly as part of a balanced diet for its eye-healthy nutrients, including beta-carotene and vitamin A.
Enjoy your vibrant carrot juice and its potential vision benefits! 🥕✨
