Why You Need This Recipe

  • Carrots are low in calories and high in heart-healthy nutrients. They are rich in Vitamin A, beta carotene, biotin, and potassium. They’re also known for keeping eyes healthy, benefiting the immune system, and reducing the risk of cancer.
  • It’s quick and easy. It only takes 5 minutes to peel and chop the vegetables and then into the juicer they go!
  • Which brings me to my next point – you don’t have to use a juicer! If you’re not an avid juicer and prefer not to buy one you can also use your blender. See my full post on how to make juice in a blender.

Ingredients

  • Carrots are naturally sweet and incredibly good for you which makes them perfect for juicing. They have an earthy flavor that tastes best when paired with a sweeter fruit.
  • Cucumbers are made up of 96 percent water and have a mild, refreshing taste. They’re also rich in antioxidants that prevent cancer and other diseases. See the benefits of juicing cucumbers.
  • Apples are naturally sweet and taste great in carrot juice. You can use whichever apples are on sale or any you have on hand. Just remember that red and yellow apples will taste sweeter than green apples. Don’t be afraid to use one with a few bruises either. Juicing is actually a great way to use them up before they go bad!

Recipe Tips

  • This easy carrot juice recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
  • Store any leftover juice in a covered jar in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Shake the jar before serving.
  • You can use a red or green apple in this recipe. Red apples tend to be sweeter and green apples tend to be lower in natural sugars.
  • Feel free to get creative and add other ingredients to this juice recipe if you wish. Fresh ginger, parsley, cilantro, bell peppers, and celery would also be delicious if included.
  • Use your leftover juice pulp to make homemade Carrot Crackers!

Recipe FAQs

What if I don’t have any apples?

If you don’t have any apples you can make this recipe without them but it will lack sweetness. You could add some fresh squeezed or store-bought orange juice to the juice to sweeten it up some.

Can I drink this juice as part of a juice cleanse?

Yes, but be cautious as the natural sugars in the juice can cause your blood sugar to go up. Read more about the potential dangers and benefits of a juice cleanse.

What kind of a juicer do you recommend?

I use an Omega masticating juicer. See all my carrot juicer recommendations.
