Fruit smoothies are one of the best ways to sneak more veggies into your diet. When paired with a sweet fruit, the vegetable becomes totally disguised. But you can also do this with juice, and no, you don’t need a juicer to make juice. This easy carrot juice uses the natural sweetness of carrots and a few tropical fruits to transform the basic carrot into a drink worth well over $10 at the local juicery.
you only need 4 ingredients
The key to making carrot juice that actually tastes good is adding a few flavorful friends, like fruit and ginger! You might also need some water, depending on your desired consistency.
Carrots: Any carrot will work here – baby, shredded, whole…whatever you have! Mango: Fresh or frozen mango adds sweetness and a creamier texture to this juice. Pineapple: Pineapple adds a touch of acidity. You can use fresh or frozen. Ginger: Fresh ginger is a great way to wake up your mornings and adds zing to this juice.
making carrot juice without a juicer
You won’t need a fancy juice machine for this easy carrot juice! You’ll basically just blend everything together until it’s smooth. After blending, you can go two routes: Route 1: Strain – Pour the carrot juice mixture through a nut milk bag to remove the fibers and create a juice. Route 2: Blend – Add a touch more water (or pineapple juice if you used canned pineapple) to create a juice-like texture. This method will keep the healthy fibers in the mixture, though it will have more of smoothie consistency (similar to this carrot ginger smoothie).
