Fresh Juice Recipe: Carrot, Apple, Ginger


Lately, I have really been loving fresh juice. I mean who doesn't? We have a couple juice shops close to us, and they are phenomenal. I love popping into them, and seeing what new ingredients and combinations they are using.

However, going to these shops can get awfully pricey. Plus, J & I got a juicer for our wedding! It's a little bit more work, but I think it's definitely worth it. If you don't have a juicer, you can use a good blender as well. Just have a nice strainer on hand to strain the juice before you drink it.

This particular recipe is great for winter. It's guaranteed to boost your immune system. Lots and lots of vitamins and antioxidants from the apples and carrots. Not to mention the numerous benefits of ginger including anti-inflammatory properties and lowering cholesterol.

Carrot, Apple, Ginger Juice
2 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 apples of choice (I used fuji)
  • 7 medium carrots
  • 2 inches fresh ginger
  • If you have extra greens that you need to use, throw a handful or two in as well. I added spinach to mine
Directions

1.   Wash all ingredients thoroughly. Chop the apples into quarters, so that they will easily fit into the juicer. If you are using a blender, peel all. Core the apples.


2.   Add all ingredients to juicer or blender. Once finished, add ice to the juicer pitcher and shake. If using a blender, pour into a shaker with some ice.


3.   Strain into a glass.

Enjoy!

Until next time...
