Start the Week Off Right: Carrot Ginger & Lemon Juice

If I put raw carrots in front of my boyfriend, he won’t touch them—he claims that he is a “texture” person and just can’t stomach the crunch. Apparently he is the same way about apples, and yogurt (for years he would only eat lemon yogurt — and don’t even think about putting fruit at the bottom). However, despite his phobia, he knows that carrots have many antioxidant benefits as well as cardiovascular and anti-cancer benefits, and doesn’t actually mind the flavor when prepared in a less crunchy form.

I got a special request to start adding carrots to our morning juices— he wanted to see if he would like carrots in this form. This juice seems to have a perfectly complimentary blend between the carrots, ginger and lemon. And…Pete loves it!

This juice is extremely simple to make with only three common ingredients.

In a juicer add:

1 2lb bag of organic baby cut carrots
2 lemons, peeled
1/2″–1″ cube of ginger root

I hope you enjoy this juice as much as we do! We would love to hear your ideas about juicing with carrots.
