Homemade Apple and Carrot Juice Recipe

Components:

1. 1. Four large carrots, cleaned and de-seeding

1. 1. Two big apples, cored and cleaned
   2. Peeling the fresh ginger (approximately an inch piece) is optional but adds more zing.

1. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice (from half a lemon) to retain colour and improve flavour.

Tools:

1. 1. blender or juicer

1. Strainer with fine mesh (if blending)
2. oversized dish or jug

Guidelines:

Get the ingredients ready:

• Just chop the apples and carrots into small enough pieces to pass into the feed chute if you’re using a juicer.
• To facilitate blending, cut the apples and carrots into small pieces if you’re using a blender.

Juice Extraction:

• Regarding Juicer Users: Put the apples, carrots, and, if using, the ginger into the juicer. To get the most juice out of the carrots and apples, switch between them.
• For blender users: To aid in the blending process, add 1/2 cup water to the blender along with the diced apples, carrots, and ginger. Process till smooth.

Pour the Mixture Through a Strainer:

• If you blended the mixture, transfer it into a big dish or pitcher using a fine-mesh strainer. Press down with the back of a spoon to get out as much juice as you can.

Incorporate Lemon Juice:

• • Add the lemon juice and stir. This keeps the juice bright and stops oxidation in addition to adding a delicious tang.

To Serve or Put Away:

• • To have the freshest flavour, serve the juice right away over ice.
  • If you want to store the juice, put it in a sealed container and keep it cold. To ensure optimal quality, consume within 24 hours.

Advantages for Health:

• • Apples are an excellent source of vitamin C and soluble fibre.
  • Beta-carotene, fibre, potassium, vitamin K1, and antioxidants are all found in carrots.

• • Ginger can help with digestion and contribute anti-inflammatory qualities.
  • Lemon not only improves the flavour but also increases the amount of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system.
  • Savour your vibrant, fresh apple and carrot juice for a revitalising afternoon pick-me-up or as a great way to start the day!
