🧾 Ingredients

This carrot orange ginger juice is made with just a few delicious ingredients.

• Carrot 🥕 - adds sweetness and color. One of the most versatile vegetables around. They're perfect for eating raw or cooked, and they have a wealth of benefits for your health. Skin nurturing, sight caring, and heart health are only a couple.
• Orange 🍊 - brings color and citrus goodness. They are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and thiamin. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps fight harmful toxins and bacteria, potassium helps regulate blood pressure, and thiamin is essential for energy production. Additionally, oranges are a good source of flavonoids, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.
• Ginger root 🌱 - yum! ginger adds spicy, peppery, and warm notes. It aids digestion, eases pain and inflammation, and it also helps regulate blood sugar levels.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Substitutions

Fresh Oranges - feel free to substitute with any type of orange, like blood orange or grapefruit. The flavor will vary slightly, but the properties will remain about the same. Also, I am not a fan of this option, but if you don't mind fresh homemade juice and you have store-bought orange juice, you can add 2 ounces of it to the carrot ginger juice recipe.

If you like oranges as part of your homemade detox drink, you should try this Golden Fresh Pineapple Ginger Juice with an unexpected ingredient you probably have on the fridge!

🍽 Equipment

Juicer - choose a cold-pressed juicer over a centrifugal juicer. they are a little more expensive but are definitely the best option in the long run. They yield more juice, and since there is no heat involved as there is in centrifugal users, your juice preserves more nutrients and oxidizes slower (lasts more).

OR

1. Blender- if you don't have a juicer, you will need a high-speed blender (affiliate link) and,
2. Mesh strainer- when making juice, use any regular colander or nut milk bags. We recommend using the same ones we use to make almond milk.
3. Bowl - It is always better to use a large bowl (affiliate link) to work the blender method without making a mess in the kitchen early in the morning.

🔪 Instructions

This morning detox drink involves 3 simple steps. Start by washing all your ingredients.

Hint: if you don’t have time, you can freeze the pulp and use it for pulp muffins or carrot cake later.

Hint: if you want to make this orange carrot ginger juice but don't have a juicer yet, you can use a blender with a nut milk bag to separate the remaining pulp from the fresh juice.

🥡 Storage

Store this carrot juice in a BPA-free (affiliate link), tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can freeze your immune-boosting juice in an airtight container, but it doesn't stand up well to freezing for more than 3 months. It will never reach the same nutrient density as fresh juice, but you will still enjoy its health benefits.

✅ Carrot and orange juice benefits

Let's talk about the benefits of this immune-boosting drink.

• Oranges are a good source of dietary fiber, which can help with weight loss and control and bowel regularity. Fiber may also reduce the risk of heart disease and other chronic diseases like cancer. Vitamin C is vital for the immune system and helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Potassium is vital for blood pressure control, and folate is essential for red blood cell formation and healthy function and growth.
• One benefit of carrots is that they are a good source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for good vision, skin tone and health, and a robust immune system. Carrots are also a rich source of antioxidants, which help protect the body from harmful toxins and oxidative stress. Antioxidants may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
• Ginger has a long history of use in traditional medicine and is now being studied for its potential health benefits. Some of the possible benefits of ginger include: aiding in digestion, reducing nausea and vomiting, easing pain and inflammation, helping to regulate blood sugar levels, fighting infections, and boosting cardiovascular health.
