🥕 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. If your carrots are older then I would suggest to peel them first, but organic carrots can be used without peeling.
- Root ginger - the fresh knobbly-looking ginger rather than ground ginger is best and gives a more zingy, spicy and fresh flavor.
- Turmeric - I suggest to use fresh turmeric if you can, but a pinch of ground turmeric powder can be used as a swap.
- Apple juice - either use freshly juiced if you wish, or from a carton.
📖 Swaps and variations
Swap fresh turmeric root for ground turmeric. Turmeric root can be found at most larger stores, but turmeric powder can be used as a swap if you're out.
Swap apple juice for orange or pineapple juice. If citrus or pineapple works for you (likely not my low histamine diet readers), then orange or pineapple juice can be used. You may also like to add a squeeze of lemon juice.
Add a pinch of black pepper. It is known that combining black pepper with turmeric helps aid the absorption of the anti-inflammatory curcumin in the turmeric (Healthline).
🔪 Step by step instructions
Making this carrot ginger turmeric juice is very simple, uses a handful of ingredients and you can either use a juicer or blender. The step by step photos below show you how to make the juice with a blender and cheesecloth (or nut milk bag).
The full instructions are set out in the recipe card below.
Steps 1
Add the your peeled diced carrots, root ginger, turmeric, apple juice and black pepper (if using) to a blender (image 1).
Step 2
Blend the carrots and spices to a thick smoothie-like texture (image 2).
Step 3
Place your nut milk bag or cheese cloth over a bowl and spoon the spiced carrot mixture into the center (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). Discard the pulp (or use for other recipes), and pour the juice 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.
- There's no need to peel the root ginger or turmeric root before blending them, although you can of course do so with the back of a small spoon if you prefer.
- Adjust the amount of the zingy ginger and turmeric used to taste preference.
- Give the nut milk bag or cheese cloth a really good squeeze to get as much juice as possible - you will always get more than you think you will!

Carrot Ginger Turmeric Juice
Equipment
- Nut milk bag or cheesecloth
- Large bowl
Ingredients
- 5 medium carrots peeled if required, diced
- 1 inch ginger root
- ½ inch turmeric root or ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ cup apple juice
- pinch black pepper optional
Instructions
- Peel the carrots, if required and dice into small pieces. Add the carrot, root ginger, turmeric root, apple juice and black pepper (if using) to your blender.
- Blend the carrot mixture to a thick smoothie-like consistency. You may need to scrape the sides down with a spoon or spatula.

Notes

- There's no need to peel the root ginger or turmeric root before blending it.
- For those who prefer, orange juice or pineapple juice can be used instead of apple juice, but this likely isn't suitable for my low histamine readers.
- The black pepper is optional.
