Ingredients
- 3 large carrots, peeled
- 1 apple, cored
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a juicer and process. You can also add to a blender and puree until smooth.
- Transfer blended carrot mixture to a fine mesh strainer lined with a piece of cheese cloth over a large bowl. Use a spatula to press all the juice out of the pulp. (I also twist up the top of the cheesecloth and press the pulp with my hands too.)
- Serve over ice. Add a splash of sparkling water for some bubbles!

Notes
- Recipe makes about 14 ounces of juice total. Store leftovers in a jar with a lid in the fridge. Keeps up to 2-3 days in the fridge.
- Add Turmeric: add even more antioxidants by adding a 1/2 inch piece of fresh turmeric or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric before blending.
- Add a Kick: before blending, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Add more Citrus: instead of apple, add an orange to the blender before mixing.
