Ingredients

  • 6 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1–2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1–2 cups cold water (if using a blender)
  • Ice cubes, for serving (optional)

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 orange, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder or 1-inch fresh turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (if sweeter juice is desired)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Wash and peel the carrots, peel the ginger, cut the pineapple into chunks, and squeeze the juice from one lemon.

Step 2: Juice or Blend

Using a Juicer:
Feed the carrots, pineapple, and ginger through the juicer. Stir in the fresh lemon juice after juicing.

Using a Blender:
Add the carrots, pineapple, ginger, lemon juice, and cold water to a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes.

Step 3: Strain (Optional)

For a smoother juice, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag, pressing gently to extract as much juice as possible. Skip this step if you prefer a thicker, fiber-rich drink.

Step 4: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or pour over ice for an extra-refreshing drink.

Step 5: Serve

Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a lemon slice, pineapple wedge, or fresh mint. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Tips & Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet pineapple to naturally balance the earthy flavor of the carrots.
  • Adjust the amount of ginger depending on how spicy you like your juice.
  • If the juice is too thick, add a little more cold water.
  • For a stronger citrus flavor, add the juice of an extra lemon or an orange.
  • This juice is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight glass bottle or jar in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
  • Shake well before serving, as natural separation is normal.
  • Avoid storing for longer periods to preserve the vitamins and fresh flavor.
