Seven Amazing Carrot Juice Recipes

Sweet, Creamy, Healthy Juice

Have you ever tasted a juice so creamy, sweet, and healthy? If you've never had freshly squeezed carrot juice, you are in for a sweet surprise.

I consider this juice to be a perfect base for any vegetable juice recipe due to its sweet yet mellow taste. This juice will mask any green taste of vegetables and add sweetness to the overall taste.

Similar to apple juice, carrot juice pairs well with any type of green leafy vegetable such as lettuce and celery. It even plays well with strong and bitter kale!

So whether you're juicing for weight loss or looking for a way to maximize your intake of vitamins and minerals, check out these delicious recipes.

Benefits of Juicing Carrots

When was the last time you ate this many carrots? Probably never! Can you imagine all the vitamin A you can obtain through a 12-ounce glass of carrot juice?

Carrots are known for their generous supply of vitamins A, C, and calcium.

As for the myth about turning into an Oompa Loompa with orange skin, that really is just a myth. Vitamin A will help you maintain healthy eyes and skin.

Carrots also have the following nutrients:

• beta-carotene
• folic acid
• chlorine
• magnesium
• sodium
• zinc

My Favorite Carrot Juice Recipes

Let's get right to the recipes that you've waiting for! After all the talk about how beneficial carrots are for your body, I'm sure you're ready to get started.

Hands down, the recipes that follow make the most delicious and refreshing juices you'll ever try.

1. Pure Carrot Juice

Personally, I just love the taste of pure carrot juice. It has a smooth, sweet taste—almost like sipping liquid butter (but good for you!).

Juicing carrots is super simple. Wash the carrots thoroughly and make sure you cut off the tops. The top is usually where all the toxic impediments are hanging out. It is best to buy organic carrots. You can leave the skin on if your carrots are organic. Otherwise, I would suggest peeling the outer skin off.

If this juice is a bit too sweet for you, try combining other fruits and vegetables (see the recipes that follow).

2. Carrot Apple Juice

Adding an apple can boost your health benefits. You know the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away?" Well I think an apple and carrot a day should be the new phrase! This recipe is a classic, but the ginger gives it that extra zing.

• 4 carrots
• 2 apples
• 1/2 inch knob of ginger

3. Carrot Pineapple Grapefruit Juice

• 4 carrots
• 1/5 of a pineapple
• 1 grapefruit

4. Carrot Orange Ginger Juice

• 4 carrots
• 2 oranges
• 1/2 inch knob of ginger

5. Carrot Bell Pepper Parsley Juice

• 4 carrots
• 1 bell pepper
• handful of parsley

6. Carrot Pear Celery Juice

• 4 carrots
• 1 large pear
• 3 celery stalks
• 1/2 lime

Optional: Substitute celery for stronger-tasting greens such as kale, lettuce, or cabbage.

7. Ultimate Blood Detox

• 5 carrots
• Handful of spinach leaves
• 4 romaine lettuce leaves
• Handful of parsley
• Ginger
• 2 celery stalks

Spinach has a lot of iron, which is the main component of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.

If you don't have enough iron, that means your body isn't able to produce enough hemoglobin. The result of not getting enough oxygen to muscles is fatigue.

If you want to feel that long-lasting energetic feeling throughout the day, drink this green carrot juice.
