- 1 lime

Instructions
Juicer Method
- Before juicing, it is important to wash all fruits and vegetables. I personally do not peel organic produce, only conventional ones. Once washed, I cut the produce into large pieces.
- Turn on your juicer and feed the ingredients through the chute. Use the pusher to guide them into the machine gently.
- Serve with ice and lemon slices as a mocktail or pick me up.
Blender Method
- Before juicing, it is important to wash all fruits and vegetables. I personally do not peel organic produce; I only peel conventional ones. Once washed, I cut the produce into large pieces.
- Place the ingredients in the blender. Add a little bit of water to help the blades move easily. The amount of water will depend on how thick or thin you want your juice. Start with a small amount, like 1/4 cup, and add more as needed.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until everything is completely pureed and the mixture looks smooth.
- Place a fine mesh strainer or a nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blend through the strainer. Use a spoon or spatula to press the pulp down and extract as much juice as possible.
- Pour the juice into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutrient content.
Notes
- If you want to separate the carrot pulp, pass the carrots through the juicer first and then the rest of the ingredients.
- It is best to use a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendetc.
- For the best taste and nutrient content, drink your juice immediately after making it.
- Pulp Usage: Don't throw away the pulp! It's great for compost, or you can use it in baking recipes, like carrot muffins or bread.
