This Carrot, Apple, Celery Juice Recipe is your morning bet on your sight, skin, and immune system. Who doesn't want to make sure their eyes keep doing their job, their skin keeps glowing, and their body keeps viruses and harmful bacteria away? Find out about all the Carrot Juice Benefits for your health.
We drink juices every morning. We experienced a dramatic difference in our health and daily routine since we adopted the juicing habit.
Carrots and celery might seem like an unlikely combo, but when you blend them, they taste just right. Many people have a hard time drinking vegetables in juice, so this is a good option for those who dislike the pulp in their vegetable drinks.
The juice does yield quite a bit, but drinking it is a great way to pack your body with nutrients.
Drinking celery and Carrot juice has been known for years as an energy booster, but drinking it is just as beneficial and is highly nutritious. You can drink this any time of the day, whether drinking it alone or as a mix with other juices.
The carrot and celery combo is a little sweet due to the carrots, but drinking it is an excellent way to get in your daily servings of vegetables.
If you drink this on its own, you only need to add a little ice to thin it out, but drinking this as a mix with fruits is also good.
We add apples and ginger for extra sweetness and zing! Apple juice is naturally sweet and full of antioxidants!
Your body really rewards you with optimal health and well-being.

🔪 How to Make Carrot Apple and Celery Juice
Carrot juice and celery juice work perfectly in any juice recipe. They complement well because carrots are creamier, sweeter, and denser than the more watery and fresh celery.
Step 1: wash and rinse your produce
Depending on your Juicer, you may be able to throw roughly chopped fruits and vegetables in the Juicer or even without cutting them, or just roughly cut your produce into big chunks. If not, remove the apple's core and the carrots' tops. And no, you don't need to peel carrots.
I usually chop off the hardtops of the carrots but do not peel them; just give them a good rinse.
Step 2: Juice Your ingredients
Most juicers work the same way: you insert the fruit or veggie into a chute, and the freshly squeezed juice comes out. However, this may vary depending on your juicer. Just follow your juicer's instructions.
Start introducing fruits and veggies, combining the leaves and solids to prevent the juicer from getting stuck.
If you want to thin the juice a little, you can add about half a cup of water in the juicer aperture, so it drags some of the rest of the fruit and veggies.
You may want to add some lemon drops to add acidity. Add ice if you like to have it cold.
Step 3: Store (if not drinking immediately)
You can reserve the carrot juice for 24 hours in a mason jar.

🥕 Absorption of carotenoids present in your carrots
Our body's absorption of the carotenoids present in vegetables like carrots and spinach is positively affected by soluble fats. This means that adding some healthy fats to your breakfast will enhance the absorption of your juice nutrients. Think almonds.
We like eating about five organic almonds with our morning carrot juice; this provides extra fiber, good oils, and energy sources first thing in the morning!
Another way is to, eat carrots and spinach with some healthy oil such as avocados, coconut oil when cooked, or extra virgin oil in your salads to enhance the absorption of the carotenoids.

Blood pressure and carrot celery Juice
High blood pressure? No worries, this carrot and celery juice combo is a fan-favorite among the hypertension crowd. Carrots pack a potassium punch, basically the arch-nemesis of high BP. More potassium equals a more relaxed blood pressure and is easy-peasy.
And don't sleep on celery—it's the unsung hero here. This lean green diuretic machine helps to flush out extra fluids, giving your blood pressure a welcome chill pill.
If you're also tracking those calories, good news: this juice is a weight-loss triple threat. It's low-cal, has zero added sugar, and is knackered at tackling inflammation.
So, give this power-packed duo a spin in your juicer. Your blood pressure—and maybe even your waistline—will give you high fives.
🍎 Apples health benefits
Apples are rich in phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals. They contain antioxidants, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties mainly due to those flavonoids and polyphenols.
Apples should be part of everyone's diet. They help prevent heart disease, cancer, and other conditions like diabetes or arthritis.
Apples are high in dietary fiber and have zero fat or cholesterol. They also contain many Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and potassium.
The tannins found in apples fight free radicals that can lead to cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.
Today, you can find apples year-round, but they are at their best in the fall season. That's when we eat apple pies and make tons of applesauce!
🧃 Why Juicing?
Juicing for health is a great way to get your fair share of vitamins in your body efficiently and fast, first thing in the morning. However, It would be challenging to get all the nutrients of these ingredients in the morning, by chewing celery, apple, carrots, and ginger. Our current favorite is this Omega Cold Press Juicer, it's silent, gets the most out of juicing, especially celery, and is easy to clean!

Juicing for Health: The Truth about Juicing
If you don't have a juicer, you can also make juices, following these simple tips on juicing without a juicer plus three delicious recipes. You need to blend your ingredients and then pass the juice through a fine or medium-mesh colander.
Another way to juice is using a Nutribullet, and then passing the juice through a fine-mesh sieve. If Nutribullet is not in your country or you find it too expensive, there are also Nutribullet alternative blenders in the market.

Joshua
I just bought my first juicer and am glad to have tried this recipe. It was very easy and packed with so much nutrients. It's so much easier to get my son to drink his fruits and veggies too as opposed to eating it!
Gus
I am glad to hear that Joshua! Welcome to the juicing gang! You will find various juicing recipes here on the site. We experiment we many different fruits and veggies to get the best flavor and the best nutrition in a glass! It is great to hear your son is also liking it!
Elle
Thank you for the recipe. I tried it today but I got really bad gas and stomach pain. Is it better to drink the juice with the fiber? You say that the carrot juice has fiber but when you're juicing it, you're removing all the fiber from the carrot. Is that correct?
Gus
Hi Elle, I am sorry about that. It, at times, depends on where we come from; it can be hard to adjust to a healthy lifestyle or detox periods or even adapt to some grains and vegetables we are not used to consuming until the body fully embraces them.
Regarding fiber, yes, stripping away the fiber when juicing is aimed at detoxing, giving the body the minimum workload to deal with. When we talk about the benefits of carrots, we speak about their benefits as a root vegetable in general. In the post, the fiber aspect is more thoroughly explained when we go deeper into juicing.
We hope you feel better by now.
Marinela
I often make this apple-carrot combination but never tried it with celery! Can't wait to add it next time I make my morning juice. A drink full of powerful vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. What an amazing plant-based energy drink! Thanks for sharing!
Gus
Hi Marianela, I am very glad you liked the recipe! I started adding celery to my juices after I found how incredible the benefits are! I am sure you will love it as much as we do!
Kayla DiMaggio
I try to juice as often as I can and I have noticed a change in my skin, a lot of people ask if I am taking collagen but I say "nope! Just plant based goodness!"
Gus
Yeah! Plant-based Goodness is the easiest, cheapest and healthiest youth fountain! 🙂
Anaiah
I love all the health benefits of juicing! I started juicing in 2016 when I fell very ill. It's one of the things that helped give me my energy back! This combination of carrot, celery, apple, and ginger was perfect and I love the simplicity of it. Thanks for sharing!
Gus
Oh! I am so glad to find juicing buddies! It was the same for us! We started some years ago and were able to really benefit from it! We haven't stopped since then; we just keep trying new recipes!
