Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large carrots approximately 12 oz (340 g)
  • 2 medium apples
  • ½ lemon
  • ½–1 inch piece fresh ginger
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey optional
  • Ice optional, for serving

Equipment

  • 1 Juicer
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 2 serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Wash the carrots, apples, lemon, and ginger thoroughly.
  2. Trim the ends from the carrots. Peel them or scrub them well with a vegetable brush.
  3. Core the apples and cut them into pieces that will fit through the chute of your juicer.
  4. Remove the peel and most of the white pith from the lemon. Peel the ginger if desired.
  5. Run the carrots, apples, lemon, and ginger through the juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternate the harder carrots with the softer apple and lemon pieces.
  6. Stir the finished juice thoroughly. Taste and add honey if additional sweetness is desired.
  7. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately, with ice if desired.

Notes

  • Use Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp apples for sweeter juice.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for a more tart flavor.
  • Begin with a small amount of ginger and add more according to your taste.
  • Remove the lemon peel and white pith to prevent bitterness.
  • Natural separation is normal. Stir or shake the juice before drinking.
  • Store leftover juice in a tightly sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Nutrition information is an estimate and does not include optional honey.
