How Healthy Is This Carrot Juice with Apple Celery Ginger?

Starting with the main ingredient - carrots. Known for their rich beta-carotene content, carrot has been proven to be incredibly beneficial to your eye health, protecting your eyes from sun damage and lowering your chances of developing cataracts. Moreover, this root veggie is also packed with fiber and antioxidants that help maintain healthy blood pressure and improve digestion, amongst various other health benefits.

That’s not all. This juice is also comprised of other healthy fruits and veggies, such as celery, ginger, and apple. Celery offers a decent amount of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation, improve digestive function, and assist in the regulation of blood pressure. Ginger, on the other hand, is known for reducing symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and various types of inflammation. Finally, apple is also believed to help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, asthma, and more, thanks to a rich amount of antioxidants and phytochemicals.

Ingredients

• Carrots: This is, of course, an absolute essential. Its sweet, earthy taste guarantees to lighten and refresh your taste buds in an instant. We recommend choosing ones that are thick, firm, vibrant, and smooth with little to no blemish. If they’re organic, all the better.
• Celery: This veggie strikes the perfect balance between mild and bitter, bringing a subtle kick of flavor that will make the juice slightly more flavorful while still not overpowering the carrot.
• Ginger: A touch of warmth and spice sounds a little off-kilter in carrot juice, but trust us, you’ll love the way these flavor undertones dance with your senses.
• Apple: A tart and sweet flavor combo that reminds us of cozy fall days and childhood memories, a few slices of apples are exactly what this carrot juice needs to stand out.
• Sugar: It goes without saying that this is to sweeten to overall flavor profile since these veggies may not always appeal to the taste buds. However, feel free to skip it if you prefer.
• Ice cubes: Drop in a few cubes to give the drink that refreshing, cooling, and thirst-quenching quality.

INGREDIENTS

1x2x3x

• 14 oz carrot
• 14 oz apple
• 2 oz celery
• 1/2 oz ginger
• 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
• 8 oz ice cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Wash everything thoroughly with clean water.

2

Peel and cut 14 oz carrots into quarters, vertically. Peel 14 oz apple and slice them into chunks. Chop 2 oz celery ribs into 3 equal parts. Scrape off the skin of 1/2 oz ginger.

3

Run all the ingredients: carrot, apple, celery, ginger and sugar (2 tbsp maximum) through an intoxicating juicer.

4

Stir to mix the juice up. Divide the juice into small portions, add ice cubes, and enjoy. Preserve the leftover juice in an airtight jar to avoid oxidation.

Tips you might find useful: 

• Don't put all of ONE ingredient in the feed chute simultaneously. You should try to mix them up while tossing them in the juicer. For instance: try 3 pieces of cut carrot and 3 pieces of chopped celery ribs in one go. This way, the drink will get even more mixed up. 
• Be gentle with the pusher. Sometimes when you rush things, things… splash. I mean the ingredients might get spun straight off to the pulp container before they get squeezed properly if you apply too much pressure. Think of it more as a lid or a “lodger” than a pusher. 
• Go easy on the ginger. Although it's the “zing” factor, this is a totally personal choice. You might want to use less ginger, or maybe none, if you choose to. But I really do recommend it, if not for its taste then for its benefits. 
• Ginger should not go last. Since the amount of ginger used is tiny, it needs to be washed down by other watery fruits or veggies. Putting the ginger in between the carrots or celery ribs would be best.
