There are times when I want to drink my veggies, and I end up spending too much money on a bottle of pure vegetable juice at the store, due to the fact I do not own a juicer. Maybe you’ve had this experience, too?
This makes me especially excited to share this carrot ginger juice recipe with you because it does not require a juicer. This recipe only requires a blender and fine strainer. The strainer could be a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer lined with a cheesecloth — or you could get creative and make your own.
(Of course, if you do have a juicer, this carrot ginger juice recipe would work perfectly with that method as well.)
This juice provides a plethora of nutrients from the carrots, and I absolutely love the flavor combination of carrot, ginger, and lemon. The ginger produces a slight spicy flavor and the lemon juice supplies the perfect hint of sour. I hope you enjoy this juice as much as I do.
