Happy Friday Friendly Faces! Good thing I love to cook because I’ve had ZERO time to do it these last few weeks. Even muffins have been a void in my oven. Cooking easy has been my survival. No matter how busy I am though, I always make eating healthy a priority. Steam veggies, baked fish, veggies burgers, Easy Eggs Muffins, crock-pot meals and instant oatmeal are always my go-to meals when life gets crazy.
I have a tendency to put eating on the back burner when I’m stressed and busy. Not eating for long periods of time makes me hangry and suddenly I’m overeating like a squirrel stashing nuts for the winter. Since I started juicing, I’ve been able to avoid the overeating cycle. I can pack multiple nutrients and vitamins into a single drink and feel full for hours.
Lucky for me and you I refuse to eat ugly food even if I am busy. Because beautiful food just makes you feel good from the inside out. Hello…ginger citrus carrot juice. Carrots are one of those vegetables I think are taken for granted. They’re a powerhouse of nutrients and vitamins and while they are so accessible somehow they are forgotten. I must admit to you when I bought a bag of carrots at the market making a juice was the last thing on my mind. Actually, I was planning to make Carrot Fries but ran out of time.
I was about to make a green juice when it occurred to me why not a carrot juice? So a little bit of this…a little bit of that and a wonderfully vibrant juice was what I had.
At first, I was skeptical how carrots would taste as a juice and I was completely amazed at how good it was. The ginger adds a bit of spice which is a nice offset to the sweetness of the citrus and sour lemon. I added lemon to mine with the peel on to add an even more vibrant flavor. Lemons are a staple in nearly all my drinks. This juice is simple, delicious and filling. Enjoy!
- ¾ pound peeled & cleaned carrots
- 1 lemon
- 1 orange, peeled
- 1 inch piece of ginger
- Juice ingredients together & enjoy

Haha I love what you said about eating pretty food. That’s hilarious!
My grandma scared me when I was young. Every time we came over she wanted us to drink carrot juice because it would make our eyes stronger and our hair redder haha.
Your recipe looks amazing…i love all things ginger!! Have a great weekend!!
It has to be pretty for me to eat it!
Lemon and ginger are some of my favourite spices in cooking…they go a long way!
They do. They’re staples in my kitchen.
I love carrot juice! I definitely have to try this. Is it strange that I crave carrots on a daily basis? True story. I love them roasted with crushed red pepper or raw with hummus.
Roasted with red pepper sounds really good!
im not a huge fan of carrot juice 🙁
Okay ,this looks so good I want some now!
I love carrot juice! Especially the color – so vibrant!
It surprised me. Never thought it would be so good.
Looks SOOO good but ginger can be so overpowering that it scares me to eat it.
A little goes a long way.
