Scale
Ingredients
- 2–3 Large Carrots, peeled
- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice (juice from about 1 large lemon)
- 1/2 inch piece Ginger, peeled
- 1 1/2 cups Water
- 1/2 cup Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut ends off of carrots then peel them. Remove peel from a 1/2 inch piece of ginger. Halve the lemon for squeezing.
- Add water, carrots, ginger, lemon juice and ice to a high speed blender. Blend on high for about 60 seconds until carrots have been fully liquefied.
- *Optional: Depending on your blender or preferences, you may want to strain and squeeze the juice through a nut milk bag for an extra smooth finish. If you’re doing this step use only 1/2 cup of water in step 2.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure to peel the carrots or the juice will have a gritty texture.
- A high speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec is capable of making this recipe into a smooth juice texture without the need to strain at the end. I personally use this blender.
- The ice cubes help keep the juice cool while blending. Too much heat can degrade the valuable nutrients.
