Description
This Carrot Ginger Turmeric Juice is a dense immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory juice with carrots, ginger, turmeric, and lemons!
Ingredients
- 2 lemons, peeled (skin and pits removed) (use 1 lemon for the blender method)
- 1 inch (2.5 cm) knob of fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger; add more if you want a more spicy juice)
- 1 inch (2.5 cm) knob of fresh turmeric (or 1/2 tsp ground turmeric)
- 6 medium to large carrots (use 4 carrots for the blender method)
- Optional: 1 cup (170 grams) frozen or fresh pineapple, peeled and cored pineapple cut into pieces (use half a cup for the blender method).
Instructions
For the juicer method:
Wash and (if you want to) peel the ginger, turmeric, and carrot. If you don’t peel the carrot, ginger, and turmeric, wash them thoroughly.
Peel the lemon (the white inside is ok).
If necessary, cut the ingredients so they can fit in the juicer.
Juice and serve immediately.
For the blender method:
Wash and (optional) peel the ginger, turmeric, and carrots.
Remove the skin and pits from the lemon.
Add the carrot, ginger, turmeric, lemon, and 1 cup of water to a blender. Blend slowly and then increase the speed. All ingredients should be well blended. If the mixture is too thick, add more water.
Pour the mixture through a strainer or nut milk bag and remove the pulp (fiber). Serve the juice immediately.
For both the juicer and blender method, you can keep the pulp for later.
Notes
This juice can be kept in the fridge in a container with a lid for up to 2 days.
The juice pulp is excellent to use in a variety of recipes. It can act as a flour/binder in recipes such as burgers, crackers, bread, and pizzas.
If you use dried ginger/turmeric: add 1/2 teaspoon dried turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger before serving the juice. Simple stir it in the serving glass.
