🧾 Ingredients
Make this carrot and apple lemon juice with a couple of simple ingredients, including health powerhouses: ginger and turmeric roots!
- Fresh carrots
- Apple
- Fresh ginger root
- Raw cauliflower
- Fresh turmeric root
- Lemon
See the recipe card for quantities.
Substitutions
- Apples - all types of apples work for this recipe. I prefer using green apples because their acidity works best with vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli when juicing.
- Lemon - fell free to use lime juice.
- Turmeric root - sometimes, I add turmeric powder directly into the juice and give it a good stir to avoid staining my hands or juicer.
🍽 Equipment
You need a juice extractor to make this cauliflower juice recipe since most of the ingredients are on the tougher spectrum.
Although many juice recipes allow you to make juice without a juicer, I wouldn't say this is one of them.
Make sure you use a slow masticating juicer because they perform better than centrifugal juicers, as they minimize the nutrient´s exposure to heat to the minimum.
🔪 Instructions
Begin by washing your fresh produce thoroughly and removing any dirt from ginger and turmeric roots.
Step 1: Chop all the ingredients into medium-sized chunks and core the apple.
Step 2: Add all the ingredients to your juicer, beginning with the softer ones and ending with the tougher ones.
Step 3: Pour the carrot and ginger juice.
Step 4: Discard the pulp into your compost container.
