Juices always feel particularly perfect when you want a good dose of fruit or veggies but a smoothie feels a little too heavy. Much like my apple ginger juice and celery cucumber juice, this carrot ginger juice uses fresh produce for a quick and easy drink that works equally well with breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

🥕 Ingredients
All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.
Some notes on a few of them:
- Carrots - be sure to use fresh unbruised produce.
- Ginger root - the fresh knobbly-looking ginger rather than ground ginger is best and gives a more zingy and fresh flavor.
- Apple juice - either use freshly juiced if you wish, or from a carton.
📖 Swaps and variations
Swap fresh turmeric root for ground turmeric. Personally I use ground turmeric most of the time as getting hold of fresh turmeric root can be tricky.
Swap apple juice for orange juice. If citrus works for you (likely not my low histamine diet readers), then orange juice can be used. You may also like to add a squeeze of lemon juice.
Omit the juice. If you are using a juicer rather than the blender method, you may not need to add juice at all.
🔪 Step by step instructions
Making this carrot ginger turmeric juice is very simple, and you can either use a juicer or blender.
Option 1: Feed the ingredients through your juicer, with a glass below to catch the juice. You can omit the apple juice, and use a fresh apple instead with this method.
Option 2: Use a blender and strain through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, as below:
Steps 1 & 2
Add the carrots, ginger, turmeric, apple juice and black pepper (if using) to a blender. Blend to a thick smoothie-like texture (images 1 & 2).
Step 3
Place your nut milk bag or cloth over a bowl and spoon the carrot mixture into the centre (image 3).
Step 4
Draw up the sides of the cloth and squeeze well so the carrot turmeric juice runs through into your bowl (image 4). Pour into your glasses and enjoy!
💭 Recipe tips and notes
- Top and tail the carrots (and you may wish to peel also if they are not organic carrots) and then dice into small pieces for ease of blending or juicing.
- Using a high-powered blender is best for making this carrot juice.
- If using turmeric powder, simply sprinkle into the blender with the other ingredients.
- Give the nut milk bag or cloth a really good squeeze to get as much juice as possible - you will always get more than you think you will!
