Before we get started, let’s talk about the health benefits of this fresh carrot juice. Carrots are a nutritional powerhouse, brimming with vitamin A, which is excellent for eye health, and a bunch of other essential nutrients like beta carotene. The addition of fresh ginger, on the other hand, not only adds a pleasant zing but also boasts anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, lemon adds Vitamin C, promotes collagen production and aids in the digestive system. Let’s get onto making some fresh juice!

Why You’ll Love This Raw Carrot Ginger Blender Juice Recipe

Sugar-Free: Buying store-bought juices doesn’t compare to making your own juice at home! If you check the ingredient label on some popular juice brands at the grocery store, you’ll notice added preservatives, chemicals and unnecessary sugar. Although marketing has a way of making not-so-good-for-you products look into the perfect drink for your health, it’s not always the case. I love making homemade juice because you have it fresh, because specifically with raw juicing there is the process of oxidation that occurs. This breaks down the vitamins when exposed to oxygen, light and heat and changes the potency of certain vitamins as opposed to drinking it fresh, not a packaged drink that’s been made a while ago and shipped to the grocery store.

Nutrient-Packed: Carrot juice benefits for your immune system are plenty, from carrots being rich in vitamin A, essential for good vision, and also loaded with antioxidants. Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can aid digestion. By blending these two ingredients with lemon, a rich source of Vitamin C, you’re creating a nutrient-packed elixir!

Easy to Make: This healthy drink is a breeze, even if you’re new to juicing. All you need is a blender, a few simple ingredients, and a couple of minutes. No fancy equipment required, and the clean-up is a snap. It’s a fantastic way to incorporate more healthy options into your daily routine without any hassle.

Substitutions

Lemon Juice: If you don’t have a lemon on hand or prefer an alternative citrusy twist, you can easily substitute it with lime. The zesty, tangy flavor of lime can provide a wonderful and slightly different dimension to your juice. Additionally, if you’re looking for a milder citrus note, consider using fresh oranges (or a blood orange)! It will add a sweet and subtle citrus undertone.

Carrots: Do not substitute fresh carrots with any other fruit or vegetable.

Ginger: Opt for fresh ginger in this recipe, or substitute it with fresh turmeric instead. Fresh turmeric can be strong, so use just half the amount of turmeric as required for the ginger. Note that turmeric also stains blenders with a yellow hue, and that color is not the easiest to remove once stained!

Raw Carrot Ginger Blender Juice Recipe Notes

To make the juice sweeter, add in some fresh apples for more natural sweetness to make a carrot apple ginger juice!
For additional health benefits, add in a little bit of ground black pepper when drinking this juice.
Wondering what to do with the leftover juice pulp? An easy way to combat food waste is to use it to make crackers, carrot cake or in another recipe!
