Carrot Cucumber Juice With Apple, Ginger & Lime
Carrot juice on its own is amazing, but this one with apple, cucumber, and ginger truly fascinates me. It's fresh, naturally sweet, and full of vitamins. I make it all the time as a morning ritual or afternoon pick-me-up. You can use a juicer or a blender, and it takes less than 10 minutes. Once you try it with that little squeeze of lime at the end, you'll understand why this is one of my most-made recipes.

Ingredients
- 4 carrots
- 1 green apple
- 1 cucumber
- 1 lime
- ½ inch piece of fresh ginger
Instructions
Juicer Method
- Feed all ingredients through your juicer.
- Stir, taste, and adjust with extra lime if needed. Serve over ice.
Blender Method
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender with ¼ cup water. Blend on high until smooth.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing the pulp to extract all the juice.
- Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- If you want to separate the carrot pulp, pass the carrots through the juicer first, then add the rest of the ingredients.
- It is best to use a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix or Blendtec.
- 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.
